Winter refresh! Redline meets AME, Zeal, etc...
I got a little push from a local style biter, so I sold my Volks and picked up some new wheels. They're AME Circlar Spec-R in Metallic Blue, from Adam at Z1. While I was at it, I bought some Zeal Function Xs coilovers off a forum member and to get the stance right, Adam also hooked me up with a great price on Kics Project spacers front and rear, SPL upper control arms, Eibach rear camber arms, and F & R Powergrid sway bar end links.
The specs on the wheels are:
19x9 +15 F
19x10 +15R
Spacers are 15mm all around, for a total offset of +0 all around.
Let me know what you all think. As always, all comments are welcome, good or bad! Thanks for looking!

Mother of god...Camber WIN Blue on Redline WIN
Must get Mag Blue TE37...I was so worried to take the jump on my redline. But d@mmit man, I think you just pushed me over the edge!

What brand are the tires you prefer?
(I need to place an order with my stock broker)
In all seriousness, I loved your old setup, drooled over it many times as I was contemplating what I was going to do. Those shots you had when you had your hood painted were sick.
I like the boldness of the color choice with the wheels, looks far better than I would have ever imagined, but I just can't get over that camber. But then I am getting to be an old fart, so WTF do I know.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I think this forum must be mellowing out, b/c I was expecting a lot more hate! I guess I'll have to wait till the morning for that 
Do it! I wasn't sure how it'd turn out either, but there's only one way to find out...
I haven't had it aligned yet, so I don't know the camber specs, but I've been guessing -8. Yikes! Tires are 275/35 in the R, 245/35 F.
I know you're joking, but I usually try a dif brand of tires every time!
And I loved my old setup as well, but a local kid bought a Z and the same rims, which gave me the shove I needed to freshen up my look. I'd had the GT-Vs for nearly 5 years!
As for the camber, unfortunately, running an aggressive stance is a trial and error type of deal. This is my first attempt at it, so I had to make it fit with tires that are too wide. I'll probably go with something like 245s or 255s in the rear next time (prob in 2 weeks when these wear out
), which will allow me to dial out some of that neg camber. As it is, I had to raise the car a full inch in the rear, and roll the s*** out of my fenders just to get the car to move!
20mm would have forced me to run more neg camber...

honestly looks retarded to me.. i'd definitely run less camber and run a smaller spacer until you can get the correct tire sizes to run that size spacer.. your car looks like it has broken suspension in the rear and the front tire is tucked in way more than the rear...
in short - run more similar camber specs front and rear

I think there is a stance which will improve overall appearance, though I like your choices and always liked your car. This direction is a good one. This wheel is not played in any way and really pops on your ride due to color choice.
