    Silver looks just right. And you should put your flaps back on ;)

    Can't go wrong with bronze (looks great with black). The contrast is too much with white wheels IMO, and I'm sure you wouldn't have fun cleaning them every few days either.

    I got rid of the grids because they were too big to run proper sized tires.

    So I'm going to refinish my Type-A's instead. What color should I paint them? I was thinking Bronze or maybe white

    Doesn't look bad, still liked the C1s and meaty tires better though.

    Glad the M50's working out, get some S50 cams in there!

    The old wheels were crack repaired and were "safe" but they had a slight vibration and so I never fully trusted them.

    I agree about the stretch (too much.) Tires were close to free so I threw them on to see what they looked like. I don't think I can pull it off without more low, spacers and crazy fender roll/pull.

    The main reason for 17's in the first place was because of the abundance of tires for 17" wheels. I think I may just go back down to a 15". Much lighter and good cheap tires as well.

    Old was SO much better (car looked perfect IMO). Not digging the excess stretch or the new wheels :(

    I like the stretch, maybe a bit more poke and definitely more low.

    Thanks dudes.

    This is with 5mm spacers front and back. I plan on getting my fenders rolled and slightly pulled, 10 or 15mm spacer in the rear and hopefully coilovers. The IE3 springs are too soft to be any lower.

    I may also get a wider tire (currently 205/40.) I hear the federal 595's run quite a bit wider than most tires.

    absolutely LOVE the new wheels. You're doing it right. Just roll your fenders and go a little bit lower to pull that stretch off.
