NOT another wheel teaser thread

It's been awhile since I have showcased my car, because as some of you remember, my Volk LE-37s were stolen in April '11. Here's the specs:

Wheels: Varrstoen 1.1.2 19x9.5 +22 (square)
Tires: Falken FK452 225/35/19 (F) 235/35/19 (R)
Spacers: 3mm (F) to clear Brembo brakes [[THESE WILL NOT CLEAR BREMBOS WITHOUT SPACERS]]
Fenders: Rolled/pulled (F+R)
Suspension: Function/Form Type 1 (Accord model)
Camber Kit: None
Rub: No









Questions, comments, criticism welcome. Enjoy!

Damn that finish looks perfect with anthracite...
But your car is begging for type-s rear sidemarkers.

Colors look great but I'm on the fence about the actual wheel itself.

I think the stance and height are great, but I don't love the staggered tires on non staggered rims. How the hell do you not rub?

Looks really nice. I think that stance is fine . . . you had eliminated the wheel gap! Also, did you get wheel locks this time around?

Stance is perfect, no need to go any lower! Ya need the rear tail lights and side markers TL-S, will make a world of difference. Not a big fan of the blue lug nuts, I think some R-40 in black would look niiice! Still your ride looks SAWEEET!! Nice job!

Long ass multiquote but i'd like to thank everyone for the input and kind words

thanks, i daily the car so im prob gonna keep it where it is or drop no more than 1/4" in the front and leave the rears. and for now im too cheap to buy a camber kit lol. as long as im not rubbing ill spend my $100 elsewhere. ill keep the camber kit in mind though cuz i do feel like itll look better with at least some front camber.

yeah i couldnt tell from pics before i bought them but i was hoping it would match as well as it does. thanks for the advice on offsets btw, glad i didnt go with +0 and 10.5 rear LOL thats too crazy. type-s side markers are now next on the list!

i hope ill be able to go more low and keep it drivable. my volks were a PITA to drive with cuz i was about 1/2 inch lower than i am currently

thanks for the input. i went with LE-37 six spoke wheels already so i thought i'd try a mesh look out, im liking it a lot.

ass shot in the works, stay tuned! and gonna try lowering 1/4 inch in the front and see how it rides.. if it rubs its going back up though

yeah haha i answered the more low question above. and as for moving around, i am a recent college grad originally from sacramento. so i went from UCSD back to sac after graduation and i took the first job offer i got which was in teh bay. id rather stay in sac cuz its cheaper n close to family but it didnt work out. i drive up to sac a few times a month on weekends so if theres a meet or something ill def drop by. lemme kno! im still looking for jobs btw so maybe ill end up in sac again lolz

im gonna try to kill two birds with one stone. im running staggered tires so that i dont rub lolz. i think a 235 is too wide for the front, but i went with a 235 in the rear cuz i have ran that size before and didnt rub much. i didnt go with 225 all around cuz i wanted more protection for the rear rims.

i had wheel locks last time around too, thieves will get your wheels if they want them. but yes, i always get locks despite the fact that they will not prevent wheels from getting stolen because having them makes me feel better lol. yes and i did get rid of the wheel gap! surprisingly it doesnt rub or scrape much on anything so im happy with the height too

im not a fan of the TL-S tails but definitely gonna pick up some side markers to match the fronts. i'vs always ran blue lugs so i decided to keep it up. i think black/gunmetal/silver lugs are too boring lol.

hahaha ill try more low since so many ppl r suggesting it, but still needs to be daily drivable so we'll c

This thread being a teaser is the equivalent of a stripper giving you a teaser but rubbing everything in your face.

you sir, have a good eye. im glad you like these wheels better! i got rid of my wing spoiler and replaced it with an OEM type-s decklid. the wing left 4 drill holes and the type-s decklid covered the rear two. the front two have been plugged with nylon hole plugs and rubber o-rings. i forgot what size plugs and rings i bought, but they're really cheap.. like less than $2 for everything you need. i got it at ace hardware. couldnt find it at home depot or lowes. i painted the hole plugs with touchup paint that came with my car

hole plugs look like this:


o-rings look like this:


final product:


hope this helps

Love those wheels and your car looks amazing! Question do you just have spacers up front? Cuz it looks like your front wheels are sticking out more than the rear.
