Default New wheel PICS: Bronze Rota Torque on PPW

Just installed today. When I was looking for wheels I wasn't able to find any of this combo, so thought I'd post up pics. Got the wheels from Wheeldude.com (great service!) and tires locally. Really happy with the look, though I might do some 5mm spacers in the rear. Didn't want to go et20 all around, since I can't stand worrying about fender rubbing on the track and such.

18x9.5 Rota Torque R et28, Full Royal Sports Bronze
255/40-18 front, 275/40-18 rear Bridgestone RE050A Pole Position

Bronze on white is a winner.

Looks good. What happened to the rear ride height? My friend's Z has the Tokico D-springs/shocks, and his rear tire is almost tucked.

Looks nice but your pics are too dark or you need to adjust the white balance. It's hard to really see how the wheels look.

They look ok on mine. I did tweak them a bit, but I can see them fine on both my PCs. I'll try to get pics on a sunnier day.

I wondered as well. They used to be lower, but then I had an alignment this past week, they seem to have gone up. Maybe the reduction in camber caused it to raise a bit? They went up maybe 1/4 inch or so. Maybe they just need to settle again? Oh well...not gonna sweat it. Better than the front being too high.
