Very nice!
Any plans on a drop? You wont fully appreciate the wheels without it!

I've been debating that, going to start doing some research on options (coilover vs springs etc). I keep telling myself that I don't want to spend more money on mods yet I keep dishing out the dough >_>

Nice wheels. Just to give you a heads up running a 5mm spacer in the front you might feel real bad vibrations and stuff. If you do then more than likely its the spacer unless they are hubcentric then u might be ok. It is usually recommended to go at least 10mm on the front just a heads up but overall it looks great.

Thanks for the heads up! I was actually really worried about vibrations since I put the wheels and spacers on myself and didn't have much time to get everything done.

So far no vibrations at all up to 80mph so far at least. I believe both the front and rears are hub centric.

One thing though..my hubs look terrible! When I have time I'm planning on cleaning them + the brakes and perhaps painting them black to prevent them from rusting up again.

Might be a good time to swap out the 5mm fronts for 10's

Yeah or you could run the 10mm in the front and 5mm in the rear. Also 12mm rear and 10mm front look awesome
