no not exhaust, i already have that covered Megan turbo elbow, APEXI downpipe, JDM (not US version) APEXi N1... and that's not every epic to me...
here's the update..... SEKZ!!!!! my new SWEET SHWINN BEACH CRUISER!!!!! 7 SPEEDS OF FURY!!!!
i'm joking, for real!!!! here's the "EPIC" update!!!
so let's start from the top!!
yeah i work in the rain.... got the rear on, and OH NOES, the front needed 8mm spacers! my girl went into town and got a set for me YAY!!!
BRAND NEW IN THE BOX!!!! just got back from the tire place...
installed... PIC ***** TIME!!!
finished!!
these are the Rota P45R's in gold of course
specs on wheels-
18x9.5
+30 w/8mm spacers up front (yeah i know, i'm not a fitment ***** anyways)
specs on tires-
Riken Raptors- been with me since my first black car.. made my Michelin, great tires!!
225/40/ZR18
AA traction
summer tires
i personally think it looks GREAT... the black on gold looks great to me... i wish i would go just about 1/2 lower all the way around. I'll prob also be getting 10mm spacers for the rear, just to bring them out a tad, and get my camber to OEM specs, that should pretty much elminate the "gap" between the tire and the lip...
oh, and what makes them so EPIC? i got the set, brand new in the box, for just $600, yeah 6 hundo... not bad if i don't say so myself... these Rotas are one of the top three designs of wheels that i like, and i've been drooling over them for the last year and a half, but not being able to fork over the $800-$1000 for a set... they're knock offs of the Nismo LMGT4's, which is my favorite design, so i get the best of both worlds...
now everyone that says "get some decent wheels" can STFU lol, i kid, i kid...

well, Epic for me in design, and price range.... i can't afford Work Meisters, and you have to admit, they're FAR better than any wheels i've had before...
as far as the stretch, that's only beacuse i was using what was available to me, i sourced these tires off the Racing Harts i had on the gold car... so i can't complain.... once these are worn out, i'll most likely be running 245's all day...
