hawgs: Hotchkis springs on the car. Lowered about 1.75" inches. Wheel diameter has very little to do with closing wheel gaps, since the outer diameter of the tire remains the same and just the rim gets bigger.
LC1: I have no idea on offset, I bought these wheels from another member.

I searched this site for a week before I ordered my evos looking for exactly what you have. I looked all over the web and couldnt find any. Nice choice! I cant believe no one makes them black already.

One thing I wish American Racing would do is to use the non-stepped lips, or 'soft lips' for these wheels. That lip would look DEEP if the stupid step wasn't in there.

Looks good. Gotta love that color! What is it with Tony's and Orange cars? I know of another Tony-Orange SS in Georgia.
And I agree with you on the non-stepped lip. I love the look of the cars with a bit of a lip. Makes it much more aggressive.

hmmm, one thing I'm noticing already with these is that they don't ride nearly as good as more expensive billet wheels. These tires are basically brand new (Yokohama) and I've had them balanced twice now, but still getting vibrations at 60-70 mph. I'm thinking these TT2 wheels probably aren't as true as more expensive wheels.
