|

Tanabe DF210 springs and Tenzo Type M wheels 18x8" w/ +45 offset.
Springs are only a day old, so they will settle more but I don't expect any rubbing issues.

Mmm I still like those Tenzos but I didn't care for how the spokes stuck out a bit over the lip. If I had a black xD I totally would've gotten those wheels for it though :)
Lookin good! What else do you have planned? |

yeah, tires are 225/40/18
the 49lbs was wheel, tire and packaging but yeah I would say they are still a fairly heavy wheel.
Got them from Element Motorsport in the sponsored sales thread. Definitely recommend them, great communication and fast shipping.

loooks very clean i must say.
49 lbs is very heavy but as long as it looks good it makes up for part of it. |

I've been very happy with the DF's. It's a great looking drop and ride comfort is nice too. I can't give too much of a vs. stock comparison though, was only on stock springs for about 10 minutes. :P
Since they've settled and I added audio, I'm tucking about 1/4" of tire in the rear. |

| is it an even drop though, im starting to dislike the drop the NFs give in the front, they ride higher than the rear. |

| the DF's seem to be just the opposite, they sit lower in the rear than the front. Not bad looking at all but you can tell when you look close. |

| boy, i must have been tired... i really meant that the springs ride lower in the rear, and higher in the front. i would prefer it the other way if i had to choose something other than level. the DFs appear to be more level than the NFs. I like the drop the NFs give the rear, but wish the front was lower. heh, maybe i will be pick up the DFs as well and just put those in the front to achieve the perfect ride height, lol... |

| Looks very good. Thanks for posting. I have been interested in these wheels before they came out and good to see them on an actual car instead of a lonely wheel pic. Car looks amazing too. |

| I picked up a pair of the upgraded tC Enkei 18" rims in the 45 offset...I shouldn't have a problem with that offset right? I have the RS1 package that comes with the TRD springs...Thanks...By the way, you ride looks killer... |
