    ^my personal opinion
    Ditto. Also, the muffler looks a tid crooked.

    Are the brakes a night and day difference from the stockers?

      I heard you say they are temporary wheels, but those would look dope as hell in gunmetal or similar color. Im curious to know if you have rubbing issues. Im running 225's all around and mine rub pretty bad. Ive raised my car quite a bit but there still rubbing. Looks damn good. Im sure that thing is a blast to drive.

        None of the suspension has settled yet. The car hasn't been driven.

          Rear sidewall contacts the innermost lip of the fender. Requires ever so slight rolling. After spending 11hrs straight working on it and finishing up, I didn't have it in me to roll.

          Tomorrow I'm going to bleed the brakes again (think there is still some air trapped, and the power bleeder was being odd) and do an alignment. Will roll the rears while there.

              You're going to need wheels that show off the brakes...those things are badass.

              So a weave wheel wouldn't do great, unless it were something like the e46 M3 sport package wheels, where the weaves are rather large. The car will look better with wheels that don't have a huge dish, the deepness of the DS' are about as far as you want to go. 5 spokes is optimal.

              SSR GT3s always come to mind. Or M parallels.

                        Looks great, seems as though everything centered up well. Definately look at some wheels to show off those brakes!

                              Maybe if they were anthracide they would look nice. But what do I know I'm a contrast whore.
