New kicks for my jcw.

Hi all. First post. Just want to say hi and show a quick pic of my jcw with 18 inch rse11. The car is lowered on eibach springs and the ride is soo much better without the stock runflats.

Can you post a few more pics? I may have found my new wheels. What tires did you go with, and what size?

Thanks - that really looks great. It has the look of Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 wheels on the Challenge car.

Michelin pilot sport a/s 3 215/40/18 so far tires are amazing and handle great in cold. Will see how they do in snow next week.

We have terrible roads here and i use my jcw as a daily driver with 17" rims and non-runflat tires. Would you recommend eibachs?

17s and non runflat should be fine with eibach. I would not suggest lowering springs with 18s and runflat as some bumps are jawbreaking. From my understanding eibach is probably the softest lowering spring you can get. My 18 and non runflat setup works well but I still turn off sport mode during rough roads. Hope this helps.

Went with 205/40/18 as I was worried about rubbing issues, but when these wear out am switching to 215/40/18

If only my car didn't have the 18 inch Cup wheels I'd have an excuse to replace them. Looks great! Also, good choice on the tires. I had michelin pilot sport a/s 3's on my accord coupe and they were excellent. Rode nicely, quiet, great wet/dry traction and long wearing.
