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

Gonna drop my car off Thursday at CIN. They're installing the headers, 600cc DW injectors, and a new prototype Southbend clutch that I have the luck of "testing" for them. Picking up Saturday or Sunday.
I'll have my ACT setup for sale soon. Act HDSS clutch for hr/ VHR motors. Streetlite 17lb flywheel. Also gonna have hr/VHR berk test pipes for sale.

Sounds god. JUst wondering but why are they changing injectors? I thought stock was suppose to be good enough for NA. What willbe the price of the flywheel? I thought you had said act wasnt a good set up for drag

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.
