Hey Guys,

After all those sleepness nights of waiting almost 10 weeks for these wheels to arrive, well guess what I am soo excited that they are here and hopefully I can get my arse down to the shop on Saturday for installation.
On the selection on tyres I wouldn't have a clue but I am sure on the day I will choose something that will suit my needs.
The only scary thing about this step is that I hope the wheels suit the car and I am sure once the Tein go on, it will make her look right.

Wish me luck. :D

Alright here is a sneak preview of the wheels. I have to say sorry I couldn't take anymore photos cause we are intalling the other stuff, soo I havn't got time to sit there and take a lot of shots. :D

Also the height needs to come down a little.

With the wheels I have to say I am wrapped. You have to admire them in the flesh to appreciate the workmanship and the detail. Basically the photo doesn't do any justice. With tyres I kept away with the stuff that they were trying to install cause I dont track day the car. So my choice was Yokohama Advan Sport in 235/35/19. I believe I got a good deal with them.

Actually the ride comfort is more comfortable than my previous ride which was 225/40/18 Bridgestone Adrelin's RE001.

Wheels look great! well done prefer them much more over your ROH's

Eye surrounds look ugly.

Callipers look tiny, as the silver blends in and the red stands out.

Love those wheels, especially the detail around where the spokes join into the rim. I imagine they are a bitch to clean!
