alright fellas, before anyone says anything, i know it needs at least a set of springs, which i do have in the garage! for the time being since it is a dcc car, *autobahn/pp/lp. ect ect i opted for just an entry level VWR set, I need to free up some space in the garage, so for now, im riding tonka truck style, overall impressions, wheels are great, brakes feel much more responsive and steering is very direct now, the tires still need to break in, so we shall see how they perform under power, *still spinning in second and third*

I do hope the nittos can harness the power the is38 on E35 is putting down, but they only have 100 miles on em.

any who, i went with the 18x8.5 ET43 flavor in racing bronze (these were back ordered for 4 months)and am very happy with the aggressive look it provided, i dont see any issues in the future with lowering the car on springs as there is ample clearance thus far. may need to look at the fender screw mod, if i need to roll them and potentially ill just opt for +10mm carbon fenders and run a wider tire (255) < To be decided

the tires in the back are 380 tread wear iMOVE gen 2 all seasons.
fronts are nitto nt05 200 tread wear
245/40/18 all around

acceleration difference is hard to decern, as i had crap 225 tires upfront and it was spin city in second and third. under full throttle when it came into boost, *full traction control off via obd-11. (small tweaks ect ect) but i do appreciate the lightweight/ responsiveness the car has now, Im not sure if it is placebo, but it is more flickable/ nimble in directional change/input.

thanks for looking!..
