oh right, the only thing i'd want other than silver would be a pewter or diamond black... but honestly its not really on the agenda at this point.

d- yeah maybe a spacer in the front, the rear is a different story. and r compounds on the street? please d, dont get me started

lol I love getting you all fired up. You are going to be like wtf? Is D rocking a motorcyle tire on the street?

Straight up gangster! A048's tucked, looking like they came off a chopper or r1.

new wheels =

[CHAOS]

did you buy them off a guy in CA?

[TROLL]

nope i got them through tirerack... picked them up in DE yesterday

[Orbit]

good choice on wheels! quality and performance FTW !

[TROLL]

just test fit the wheels since i wasnt doing anything and didnt want to get the tires mounted and then find out that the internet lied to me about fitment. first off, they clear the front brembo calipers by about an inch... second, they stick out past the fenders... hopefully when the wheels are on the ground they'll tuck in a little from the camber, and also the tires will have enough of a taper to them.

I think you should change the name of this thread to troll's bugeye thinks its dimitri's car with soon to be really bad rubbing.

[D Money]

haha hell yeah!

[TROLL]

you know i'd like to do that, but i just cant bring myself to

tires are getting mounted now... god i hope they dont rub!!!

[JettaMan17]

dude, the car looks amazing. congrats

[TROLL]

ok, got the new wheels and tires put on today... i dont know how i feel about it to be honest, maybe it'll take some getting used to. they definitely stick out a lot farther than the stock wheels, changes the look of the stance a good bit. the wheels/tires stick out farther than the fender in the rear, and over a big bump it did rub on my first drive... but just cruising around i'm fine since the car isnt slammed.

[jjm4life]

rpf1s look awesome.personally i like how they stick out a bit. mine stick out on my evo, especially in the front. i am debating buying spacers for the rear just so it matches.

great wheels

[james_ls]

Dump it Bryan.

[philly_s14]

im loving the rpf1's! im looking to pick up set sometime soon.

the car looks awesome.

[TROLL]

new photos from today...

roll the fenders, lower the car, and maybe run a 3mm spacer up front. The rear tires look like they stick out a little more than the front.

Other than that, your car is finally coming together. I definately like the look.

[TROLL]

haha you say that like you dont know who you're talking to. no spacers, thanks. the fronts fit perfect, the rears are too wide, IMO, and in my rear fenders' opinion too. this ish rubs, and i dont even know if rolling the fenders will be enough for the rears. i'm gonna try it and we'll see what happens. car is already low enough for me although the uneven sand in the 2nd pic makes the rear look higher than it is.
but thanks, as soon as these stop rubbing hardcore i think i'll like them till then i'm going back to the stock bbs wheels

I haven't gone "oh, damn" in a good way when looking at pictures online recently. These made me do that, really nice shots.
Honestly in the first pictures I didn't really like the wheels, but these are making me change my mind. I'll have to see it in person.

[D Money]

Run more camber, roll the fenders, no more rubbing...
