Default Got my new rims mounted!

Another TE37 install here...
Mercury Silver 18", Toyo Proxes T1-S
8.5 in front (245/40/18) +35 offset
9.5 in rear (275/40/18) +35 offset
On an '04 Enthusiast Z..

They came with Volk faux "carbon fiber" center cap, blue anodized valve stem & chrome lugs.

Got them from 350zonlinstore.com .. Great price and the rims arrived in excellent condition but unfortunately there was a little miscommunication and I got the wrong offsets.. Imagine my di$appintment when I opened the boxes... I would have at least wanted a +22 in the rear for a more concave look but it's too much hassle to return them as I already had a long awaited appointment to mount them on the car. As it stands now, I really like the way the front looks.. and the rear .. eh.. looks ok but not

Also, they sort of look like the stock "Track" rims (but a darker silver).. The +22 offset would have made more of a difference....

Here are a few pics:

It's a little bit dark in my garage right now and my camera sucks in the dark but I snapped a couple of pics anyways (You can still get an idea though):

front:
(ignore my reflection )

rear:



Here's another pic that might help a little:

cool rims man. did you lower your car? I noticed that some of the people here with rims have pretty big gaps between the fenders

Not lowered.. stock height, stock '04 suspension

I too noticed that some folks here have some big wheel gap.. I dunno what causes that.. wrong sized tires? or maybe there are manufacturing variations in suspension height from the factory?
