would anyone be interested in purchasing my wheels? looking at around 800 shipped which is a great deal with the tires included. 245/40 265/35, the tires have tons of tread. I've got something new planned

Pretty sure have the wheels sold, have new wheels lined up to buy, will have ugly tires when I get them so bear with me. Keeping it under wraps just in case I don't get them but these will probably be gone next friday

Looking good OP. Despite what everyone says I like the way your car is turning out. If you don't mind me asking about how low did you lower your car and i think you mentioned your wheels are 18x10 and what spacers are you running? How do the stance coilovers feel for daily?

Hard to say how low it is, pretty close to maxed out on stance coilovers, I never took measurements of the drop. And they ride like any other car slammed on coils, pretty harsh

Thanks for the reply! Dude your streets look perfect. Even your driveway doesn't look bad at all for lowered cars.

I forgot I have 5mm spacers on the rear. The streets around my area are pretty nice, however my driveway I have to get in completely sideways, that's a good angle and it looks flat but it really isn't.

Oh lol, wish the roads here were half as decent. We got pot holes and unleveled roads everywhere.

Idk, those XXRs look pretty sharp if thats what the gold mesh w polished lip wheels are few posts back. I suppose if the XXRs werent replica wheels it would be a different story for you.

The look of those wheels was wearing out so fast. I needed something new. But I'm sure it'll just be like another few months before I wanna get rid of the rpf1's

Couple daytime teaser pics that you can actually see the wheels in. I obviously can't wash the car today and take any sort of decent picture of it. It's done nothing but rain in the midwest lately.

I like my old wheels still but I think rpf1's accent the car so much better, I just hate that they are black. But for the price I paid for them I can deal. Might look into powder coating or painting them at one point.
