Nice looking rims. I like the tint job too. Can't wait to start modding my ride...just need some $$. All I have now is clear corners up front!

Thanks for the compliments gang! Actually my girlfriend picked these out for me, my final 2 choices were OZ Antares or this Impera and she thought this one would look better both moving and sitting still so I went with her suggestion and am well pleased! I bought the high dollar Pilot Sport A/S to go with them so I'm confident this is awesome looking as well as year round performing setup. The rims were $250 each and the tires were just a tad bit cheaper so it was around the $2K mark to get these including McGard locking lugs. Not cheap but well worth it. What I failed to do in my haste was weight them to see what the delta was from stock. I'll do that when I install the Eibach springs. By the way, anyone have a write up on spring install especially for the rear which I understand are a ***** to get to? Thanks in advance! More pics to come after a cleanup and Zaino job probably tomorrow evening!

Yes I went with 235/40s...might have considered 245/45 or 235/45s had I known just how much more the front wheel well gap would be! I'm happy so far though, the ride is not noticeably harsher so I can't wait to drop in the Eibach's and lower it a tad bit.
