very smart, best choice of wheels!

shame we never got the 2.5rs over here. it would have made for a great daily driver.

Thanks! Unfortunately they are very rare in the states, luckly found someone selling on a local forum. Wish they were Speedline type 2013's

Yeah they are great! I get a little more then 300 miles per tank and can use 87 octane, its also pretty torquey so its still pretty fun to drive.

Thanks its a v5/6 Cwest front lip, I ultimately sold it because it was just too low :/

Love the US style.
Liking the low spoiler, I changed my mid level spoiler for the low one......

California is on my list of 'places to visit' before I die

They are ARP extended wheel studs, I just needed a couple new studs so I figured I would upgrade. They are a challenge to install, well the rears are.
