So traded my wheels. Couple things though...

1. Ordered a set of 15mm spacers for front, and 20mm for the rear. So waiting for those to come in.

2. The guy I traded didn't know, but 1 of the 4 wheels is the +40 offset.... Yeah I was pissed but he agreed to pay for half of a new wheel for me. So that works out because I can sell this one spare one I'll have and come out about even.

3. The dumbasses who mounted my tires mounted 2 backwards (directional) so have to get those fixed. But I'm gonna wait until the new wheel comes in so I can get it all swapped at once.

**if any of you guys know an s2k/Evo/sti, etc guy running 18x9.5 +40 nt03 and wants a spare or needs a replacement for cheap let me know!

But here is a pic of the front wheel

My act does tend to slip after it gets a little hot. Not sure why. I'll have pics up of how it looks once it's off. And my Injector duty cycle is at 91.4% with the stockers. So picked up some 600ccs for an awesome price, plus that will give me room for whatever the future holds.

Looking good murray. Do the fronts rub if you hit a dip or bump while making a turn? And how did the paint come out on your seibon hood? My unpainted hood has noticeable wavyness to it when the light catches it just right which my body shop says can be much more noticeable once painted. Pretty much any carbon fiber piece I look at has waves in the clear gel/coat, some more than others.

I haven't drove it much but no rubbing yet. Paint job is okay, he says he wants to redo it because he needs to use a different "hardener" and he wants to get the color match a little better. But I can't notice any waves or anything like that

One to air the tire and one for a pressure gauge, allows for extremely accurate tire pressure setting.

Never would have guessed that. I just use a dial gauge with a built-in bleed valve.
