Time for new 2012 Shoes :)

Well my factory tires are almost gone so I figured why not get a decent set of rims with summer tires and then I can buy winter tires for my type s 17" rims.

Here are specs.

Front 19 x 9.5 et 25 235/35/19 Hankook ventus v12
Rear 19 x 9.5 et 25 235/35/19 Hankook ventus v12

I might need to get 225 35 for the fronts if I rub, but I think it will be damnnnn close. Im lowered just on h and r springs. Heres my drop. All opinions please!!! I also professionally paint rims, so I might change up the colour. Right now they will be satin grey



here are the rims!!!!

Fast brand wheels? Never heard of them. I hope they work out for you.

Since you're not crazy low, you should be fine with the 235s.

Just checked out their site. Pretty much all of their wheels are knock-offs. I would do a little research to make sure they are decent quality. Many of these knock-off companies have major issues with rim run out and/or paint finish. I've seen knock-off wheels come in and ask for over 10oz of weight to balance them out without a tire on them.

Awesome looking wheel. I love that style, and I think the satin silver will look great on the WDP. Congrats!

research has been done. Fast wheels are actually great wheels. Im well aware of the rim balancing, and they are in and balanced fine with hardly any weights. Also even if the paint did turn out to be shit, I professionally paint rims. So im fine. I will def post reviews on them!

Also being as a canadian manufacturer of rims us canadians save alot on shipping and costs buying from them.

Pics up beginning of the week with them on

They're OK, but just OK. They're not "lighting me up" with excitement....
