New shoes 18x8 35mm offset

finally got my new tires and wheels

Went with the enkei TS9 18x8 35mm offset matched up with pirelli P7 AS 235/45/18 and lowered on h&r springs.

I know a lot of people don't care much for the murder look but I love the black on black.

Next things I do will probably color match the grill and get the Euro Headlights. Looking for a lip that'll fit the 2011 as well..

Looks real good to me.

If you're doing black on black on black, wrapping the window trim and getting some custom pained door handles would be pretty killer.

Did you need to do any fender rolling to get the wheels to fit with that drop?

I just got home right now and I looked at my car and it crossed my mind for the first time of color matching my door handles, may do it the same time as my grill if/when I pull the trigger do so. Some days I like the chrome grill, most days I'd want it black lol.

As for the fenders nope theyre all good no rubbing so far. Now that I got 18's I was worried but so far nothing.

Looks great. I like the fitment of the rims/tires. My only issue with black rims is I feel like you have to burn through tire shine to maintain the look. Faded tires + black rims, to me, are an eyesore.

definitely. Luckily I get 2 days a week to clean up my car a little so I just usually do it then. Dull tires can easily make or break a cars look.
