Finally, after months of contemplating and alot of **** from everyone who has seen this thread, I have gotten new wheels. I was sick of the look of the front wheels jutting out and I was looking for the ideal wheel that would bolt on with no spacers and take a big brake kit. As luck would have it, I ended up finding that wheel in the form of 5Zigen FN-10R's that I just got yesterday. It was time for the Enkei RSV's to go, and their balding BFGoodrich TA KDW's. Towards the end, the wheels were either off balance or the spacers were finally just becoming too warped for proper torquing to alleviate, so I was happy to take them off.
I decided to switch to a different tire and try out the Falken Azenis 615's, because I've heard so much about them. At $108 per tire (215/40/R17) they were a pretty good deal and they look great as well (performance is yet to be determined). The 5Zigen wheels are 17x7 with a 35 offset. I was curious as if I'd get the right offset or not (they had 35, 42 and 48 to choose from), but they were absolutely perfect. They clear the Wilwood BBK by probably a millimeter or two (ha!) and they do not stick out from the flush line with the fender. I finally look like I have a real wheel setup! And now that I have my ARP wheel studs on all 4 corners with no spacers to cover them up, they look totally gangster (think of the roman chariots and their metal blades coming out to attack other chariot wheels) sticking out. The pictures speak for themselves, so without further ado...
I have yet to put the center caps in... I'm debating which way looks better, so I'll post up some pictures for you all to be the judge. The car is also way dirty and the tires have not been cleaned and had tire shine applied, so bare with this first batch until I clean them up.
