Copied from Tristatetuners.com*
Wheels are on, I like them alot. They were every bit as light as they said they would be. My 205s are a little stretched on the 7.5" wheel. Unfortunately I cant use the center caps for them. My front axle stub sticks out too far. I could put a spacer in, but you can see why I wont in the pix. Chaz is going to take a few pix with me tonight for Goodwin racing. They want my car on the website.
Anywho. Heres my lame pix lol.
3" lip brah

Truthfully, I think the SA3Rs may have been a little cooler, these are just alot more fitting.

Much better!! I have never been a fan of the 3 spoke wheels. Invest in a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to keep them bright white!!

Im running 205/50/15 toyo proxes4. Great tires for the money. I didnt want to go with a tire that was too agressive for the wetter weather.
I really do want to go with spacers but Im kinda scared for when the coilovers go on. I want the car at least another inch lower in the front and half an inch in the rear. You dont think it will Rub? I was rubbing on a rim an inch smaller than these, same offset and same 5mm spacer in the rear.

you'd HAVE to add a little rear camber, which would really look slick IMO. that plus camber bolts up front and you could have a very nice aggressive stance, especially in a front-view.
theoretically you're running 62.25MM outboard. Carlos's car is running 71.9MM outboard. he's also on a 195 tire. that taken into account, you may be able to pull of a 10mm spacer (effective +22MM ET rear, 72.25MM outboard) as long as you add a little camber to help tuck that 5mm outboard extra rubber.
(all numbers are math based, and do not represent actual dimensions. a 7.5" wheel is NOT 7.5" wide at its extreme edge)

Looks great. I like them better than the three-spoke ADVAN wheels.
You will rub with the coilovers, too. (Welcome to the club) It Like Tamago said, you should be able to pull it off. I suggest doing down to a 195 tire, though. However, with a 7.5" wheel, there will probably be some rubbing of the fender liner, which I've come to live with.

nothing a big metal kitchen spoon and a blowtorch won't fix :) heat the spoon with the blowtorch and massage the plastic pieces in the fenderwell to make room for your tire

I'll play around with it when they come. if anything I will just go as low as it will tolerate. Im not really looking to slam it just sit evenly and low.

Yes they are. And thank you for making it possible lol. I actually just checked on them yesterday to see if you got them yet. I think they will look better on your silver than my white.
I thought I posted what they were but anyways. I got these from Good-win racing. They are 15x7.5 +32 14lbs Konig ReTrack wheels.
