Wonder if the Satin Bronze would go with IRR?

I think Satin Bronze looks really good with red. It's the darkness of the finish that works well with a lot of colors.

HRE P104's in Satin Bronze
H&R Springs with 1.3" drop

The ride quality on the springs feels perfect to me. I have some painted items coming to finish off the exterior and will post the final pictures. Still looking for a good, quality tune.

Cheers!
What are the offsets? Looks great

Aftermarket wheels on the F have always given me a weird feeling. One where I'm just not sure how I feel about them, stylistically. Yours on the other hand, my friend, executed perfectly. Great work!

How much caliper clearance do you have at front?

Those rear tires had to be scraping.

I'm more worried about the wheel. Those 11" wheels with a 22mm offset pushes the wheel face out as far as an OEM wheel with a 22mm adapter/spacer.

Hey Guys, sorry this wasn't my thread so I wasn't subscribed to it, so I just saw these posts now. Anyways, if you are still curious:

1) plenty of front caliper clearance - 5/8" minimum from inner spoke to caliper, even more between caliper and inner rim face.

2) Previous owner had issues with rear camber (tires wore down on inside after only 4000 miles) and ditched the H&R springs, went to VAP springs. Still using those today, no problems with abnormal tire wear now. I did have to cut the front spring to get the front to drop an additional 1/2 inch so it has equal space between tire and wheel well front to back.

3) Previous owner tells me HRE did get too aggressive with offset and there was minor rubbing with this setup, so they shaved the hub a couple MM and now it is perfect. I have never heard or seen evidence of a rub.

4) Current tires are PS4S's, 295/30/20 rear and 265/30/20 front. Probably could have gone with 275/30/20's in front, but can't say for sure. Was told 305's in the rear rubbed with this setup.

I had a set of wheels custom made to my specifications. I opted for a -10mm ET from OEM specs front and back. I like the way the wheels fill in the fenders now on springs dropping the car around 0.75/8"

Thank you. I wasnt' sure about the flat black without the black package but it works well. Best of all, they are 13lbs each less than the Blade wheels
