Default Finally got my F14 wheels :)

After a rather long wait I think it was 4 months but worth it. I got my F14 wheels I purchased through Sam.

They are F14 Deep Concave Gloss gunmetal 18x10 +42 offset with Michelin pilot super sports 295/35/18's square setup.

I did roll the rear fender slightly but i'm not really sure I need to do anything at all really. I can see the is some slight rubbing up from on the plastic but only when the wheels are fully turned.

I also picked up some McGard 65557BK Black SplineDrive Wheel lugs. The stock ones looked terrible with these wheels lol.

Wheels and stance looks perfect! Just curious, what is the ride height on your car, measuring from the top of the wheel opening?

I prefer shinier wheels but damn, that size is dead on perfect. Nice.

I agree, the ride height is about as perfect as you can get. I also like the wheel choice and color.

Top of the wheel well to the ground is 27" rear and 26.5" front. It's lowered about 1" to 1.2" I would have to guess. I don't remember the height it was stock. It's on Koni shocks and Strano Springs.

Perfect ! Exactly what I'm getting. Where did you order tires from?

Finally get to see this setup on a black WS6.
THANK YOU, looks for fantastic !
The Gunmetal in all the photos I've seen online is a little deceiving, sometimes looks dark, sometimes looks light. I can't get a good read on this ?
Either way the contrast on the black bird looks spot on.

You don't happen to have an accurate weight on the bare 18x10 wheels, do you?

What are you using for backspacing, offset & spacers? How much, if any, are you lowered? Do you think it's okay to mount a tire intended for a max 10.5" wheel width on a 11" wheel?

I'd say that should be fine.
