Finally recieved my 18inch SSRs . The rears were on back order for the longest time. I ordered the wheel package along with the Kumho V700s. The Kumhos stick like glue, and really like them so far.
The 18inch wheels look really good on this car. I had 19inch Forgeline VR3s on my car previously. And thought that 18inch wheels would look too small. Here are some pics.
Before with Forgelines

They look good..................
Not to be negative, but I prefer the Forgelines, they look better. Not because they are 19s though. I just like the style better.
The 18s look good and there are more tire options for the rears. Why did you go 305s in the front though?????????

The forgelines are cool. I kept them. And will send them out to Forgeline. To have the centers powder coated black. And last, have them machine the rear wheel spokes thinner. So I wont have to use a spacer for the rear anymore. Been having rubbing issues previously..

I could lower it more. But then I would really be scraping everywhere..

What rear brakes are you running? The black centers on the Vrs will look good........
