Thanks again! AD07s are great street dry tyres, but not so great in wet weather.

(hope you "get" the compliment).

Maybe I should get out my flashing blue lights from my fire department days and take some new pictures....

Currently I have 17" S lights on a CR/W 06 MCS (wife's car, actually). We're looking to put on 18" OZ Superturismo WRC wheels (will be an awesome match with the whole white/red thing).

Tire Rack only offers them in 18x7, but I would prefer to go as wide as possible. In this thread I see guys running 225s on 18"s, but don't specify how wide the wheel is. I know I'd be pretty safe doing 18x7.5 with 215s (if OZ offers the wheel) but if I can do wider without big probs, I'd rather do that.

Suspension is stock non-sport.

Any advice welcome.

Even though I am no longer the only one with those, they do look tight. Very Nice.

Okay.. I need a little help.. I've been in search of a set of SSR GT1's for some time.. but recently have been leaning to the dark side, so to speak..

I don't usually have a problem visualizing mods on my car but I'm having trouble with this one. I know that the GT1's would look awesome on my Astro Black but I don't know how these wheels would look.. seeing as the Astro has is more like a really dark blue..

I'll try to colorize it AB to see what I can come up with ... but what do you guys think? (by the way, I'm also debating on the lights..)

Opinions appreciated..



Here's a quick colorize.. a little cloer to Astro.. but I also threw in my red mirrors.. which are waiting to be cleared.. Ooh.. and a white roof..



...now that I see them together.. there isn't a whole lot of difference..

Hello everyone, not sure if this would be a good place to place this post but pretty sure I'll hear about it if not. I have a set of four HRs 25mm spacers I like to sell or exchange for smaller ones say maybe 15mm they were used for 3 days and the car looks awesome but there are lot's of bumps in my town so the rear tires rub a bit on the fenders other than that they are in perfect condition. please send me a note if you are interested. Thanks
