Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum and liking it so far

You'll see me on other forums though.

Anyway Sharing some pics of my car

I applaud your wheel choice. Best wheels on planet Earth. Nice Si. How much do the stock wheels weigh? And what are those, 16's? Probably save what, 5lbs per corner? 20lbs total of unsprung weight. I bet it handles 10x better than stock.

What are you lowered on?

Yeah best wheels! Thanks! I'm not sure but the rpf1 are very light! 14-15lbs I think for these wheels. 17x8. Oh yeah WAYYY BETTER!

Tein S-Techs paired w/ Tokico Blues
