Yes these are the real deal BBS LM's from Japan. I don't support knockoffs. Thanks for the input but I'm not into the Hella flush/Stanced trend so current setup still stands.
Function > Form

you can have form and function at the same time. my suggestion was because the lip on your wheel makes them look like a knockoff. 18x10.5 on the evo what do you call that ?

Small update....
Color matched the outer frame of the JDM/Euro grill. Not 100% perfect paint match but it will do for now.






Some pics of the wheels....more after alignment and corner balancing @ West End alignment

Only thing I didn't wire up are the cornering lights. I will convert those to parking lights instead. Everything else works like factory.

Update...

Installed new Alpine Navi system with OEM double-din bezel. Added the JDM/Euro hazard button.
Steering wheel contols were also wired up. Pretty straight forward install





H&R coilovers finally came in. Been on back order for awhile. I'm waiting for the factory top hats to come in before install.



Now my wife is making me clean up my room...
Selling some stuff.....



To be continued.............

^ looks great! I just have to ask you a few questions cause you could be my total and complete life saver. Did you lose any functionality at all such as your climate control by doing that double din unit? Anything special to wire up your steering wheel controls? And which double din bezel did you buy, do you have a link? Sorry for all the questions but i really need to know!

Depending on what model you have ( navi or no navi ) the climate control still works like normal, Navi models however lose there temperature display so In order to read the temperature you'll have to relocate the little display.
You'll also lose the bluetooth steering wheel controls if you have those and the subwoofer has to be powered by an added amp in order to work.
Otherwise everything functions as normal.

Im pretty sure you have that backwards. Why would someone with the tech package want to install another nav device? On the non-tech and SE, the climate control is displayed on the small screen, which is lost when you install the double din above. So regardless if you have navi or not, you will have to relocate that screen when installing a double din if you would like to keep your climate control display.

Amirite?
