Just to address the obvious, my old wheels look waaaay cooler.
Now that that's out of the way, I love these things!
Wheels are 17x8 et45 Kosei K5R, wrapped with Conti DW Extreme 255/40/17.
Sub 40lbs per corner with 255 wide rubber, MUCH smoother ride vs the 18s with 245/40 tires, and my god THE TORQUE!!! Its like I put another JHM tune on top of my tune.
Car pulls much harder due to the slightly smaller diameter of the tires, effectively changing the gear ratio and being very light. Feels like I added 20ft/lbs wtq.
Love it or hate it, I did this purely for maximizing the cars performance. Now I need to adjust the height of the car and put some spacer on it. Need a 5mm up front and a 10 rear for a flush fit.
FYI, 255/40/17 fit with plenty of room left over. With the right offset a 265 tire would fit without rolling fenders.
