yeah they are, he sold the TSX and bought a white Evo with SSL package, running on meth.These Same exact rims which was on a Static S2000 from Las Vegas or another area close by are which was on Stance Nation or Stance Works one of those sites.

bro i just did a 20 minute make over to it lol, no camber kits or nothing didnt adjust the ride height or nothin. Pretty much just threw the rims on. The rears are poking and everything is rubbing and the front didnt poke as much because those front tires are Yokohama tires. Yokohama's dont stretch well. And their the same exact profiles as the rear.

Thumbs up

Everyone loved the wheels especially at my crews BMW 1 year anniversary car show, which consisted of alot of BMW's and VW dudes. For my first set of official wheels, i would say they look okay, I would have chose 18's but had these right on the spot. Crazy thing about this car so much people asked me If I had air suspension its crazy. Being Static like this in NY is like walking barefoot on a shit load of glass. Had to drive 10mph on the Van Wyck, a busy highway in NY and for every where else it was pretty much 5mph. Couldnt even park properly in front of my house the car would get stuck and i wouldnt even budge to go in my yard, it just got stuck as well. So low.





Wheels are 17x8 by 17x9

u should bro, why u took it off?

I got a pic with my bike on it, but with my stock rims on!

I always had a thing for Benz style wheels when i was younger, had no idea I would run into these wheels, and besides the face of the wheel the set lip made up for it, the front would have had more rim to it like the rear look but the front tires were a different brand that doesnt stretch as well as my rears.

I think i may just put the cross bars on. Thule has these new Aero bars that look kinda sick. what the offsets on those wheels.

I know I'll get flack for not subscribing to this ridiculously impractical wheel/stance trend... however "hard" this is supposed to be... But.. Anyone can throw some wheels on car that was simply lowered to the ground by cranking the coilovers all the way down. What is impressive in this "stanced" trend is what takes skill - getting wheels and tires to properly fit, STILL look aggressive, and allow normal driving without having to worry about turning, parking, etc.
