Sedan Spoiler for Sale

^ This rear OEM spoiler would set things off nicely.

That CF overlay is very hard to bend over the curves and it comes undone at the sharp corners. Good work.

I have the rear camber kit on, but my specs are way out. i got -2.1 in the front and -2.4 in the rear. I got my alignment at NTB and they arent the brightest bunch at this shop, so im thinking they didn notice that i had adjustable camber in the back... so ill be going there again and will report back.

Ugh, yes it does! The shifter has held up really well surprisingly, but its actually started to come a bit off on the center by the screen. So i need to do something about that.

I was thinking paint it flat black, and the remainder of the aluminum in gloss black? - in my head it looks good, but not sure if that will translate well into real life

The car looks nice but stockish.
I've tried re-drilled wheels twice and neither time did the car ride right. The steering was loose and pulled to one side. I hope it works out for youi.

Those wheels look great! And the drop doesn't look that low considering they are eibach! Did you NEED the slight stretch to the tires or are they not even close to rubbing? I think they offer +38 or +45 as well, would you have gone with them? Did you get them through supreme power? I'm thinking of getting some vmr wheels redrilled as well, but am unsure about the offset to go with.

I dont think i NEEDED the stretch, it just worked out that way. I had the 245/40/19 tires from my last wheel set and i just put them on these. These were wider with the 9.5 width so it stretched a bit. You can probably go for a 255 tire, but i would do some research as far as how they look on a 9.5 wide rim. If i had to do it over again, i would still go with the same size tires.

I think the offset i went with is perfect as both wheels are flush with the body, if i would have chosen a higher offset they would sit in a little more and wouldnt look as nice, so im happy with my choice.

I got them through ModBargains last summer, they were pretty easy to work with, just give them a call. I think they should have VMR wheels as well.

good luck!

They look awesome. So, last question. If the car wasn't lowered, they would probably stick out a little? I'm asking since I don't plan on lowering. While I'd like to, if I did lower, I'd only want to drop .75" at most, and no one seems to offer that

Yes, they will stick out if its at stock height.

you can use this link and compare the wheel/tire combos you might be considering.
Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com

just take a ruler to your wheel right now and see how much more you can get.

i lowered my car before i got the wheels so i measured how much more i can get and then played around with the calculator in the above link to get the dimensions of the wheel and the offset that suited me well.

It also helps to look through the forum to see the wheel combos people use and what specs they have. You might just come to a combination you like without doing any calculating yourself
