Mother****ers that stole your rims.
Amazing car, can't believe that people still do this ****. Unbelieveable.
However, your car looks tastefully modded. What kind of lip is that? And skirts? Amazing, amazing.

Does anyone know whether Rays made different spoke designs for CE/LE28n for a given Width and Offset, i.e. for varying amounts of brake caliper clearance? For instance, someone with smaller brake calipers could use a 10.5" wide +22 offset wheel with a skinner center portion (where the lug nuts go) with more concavity in the spokes, while someone with a larger brake caliper may need their 10.5" wide +22 offset wheel to have a thicker center portion with less concavity in the spokes.
I think Rays calls this 'pad height' or something like that, but I couldn't find any of this info on the Rays website (mainly because I don't read Japanese, and I couldn't find any 'English Version' link). I am asking because I have a brand new set of LE28's in 9.5 front 10.5 rear +22 all around with tires moutned sitting in my garage, but before I put them on the car and they become 'used' I want to make sure I got the wheels that I thought I was getting. Sitting on the garage floor my spokes look less concave than what I am seeing in this thread, but maybe it's just an optical illusion. This is something I didn't even think to ask before buying them, and I have the OEM brakes so the more space I have between the spokes and the calipers, the sillier I look.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Seibon CW style front sides and rears. I got them at Jspec on the forsale forum.

Finally put mine on, Gloss Black LE28n 19x9.5 +22, 19x10.5 +22 with toyo t1r 255/35/19 fronts and 285/35/19 rears. I just put them on before it got dark tonight and I'm still not sure how I feel about the look. I'm so used to my silver wheels w/ polished lip and this is quite a departure. I went for a quick ride after installing and hit a little dip in the road. As I feared the rear tires rubbed. Hopefully I can get my fenders rolled within a week or so. Anyways here are some pics:

Gloss Black LE28's FTW! I have the same sizes/offsets/tire sizes 
Get your fenders rolled ASAP, I rolled on mine for a week before I had them rolled and the fenders started cutting thin slivers out of the tires 
I also have a camber kit so I'm sure my rubbing was worse than yours, but still. Looks great man!
