Hey, first post.
I just bought 18" XXR 502's in Chromium Black for my 2011. I'll post pix in the spring.
I can't see myself lowering the suspension though. Montreal.... absolute worst roads on the planet.

 

I love those rims, I have some on my SC400

About the only thing I dont like about them is that sometimes they look smaller than they actually are (18's with a +35 all around). I get compliments about them all the time. Get some pics up when you can, I almost bought some for my RS5. I guess I can always swap rims between the Lex and the box

 

Look into the Tanabe NF210's. They are a mild drop, great ride, and will make your 18's look great, but still handle the bad roads. Here in NY, we have some pretty bad roads too!

 

Not sure if I ever posted in this thread. Here is my car running on 18s

 

Nice... l made a good choice! I also liked the Hypersteel colour but my car is white and I thought it might look to bright.

 

Yeah, that is pretty sweet.
I'll make the decision when I see the wheels on the car I guess. Thanks for the advise.

 

That reminds me of the rhd 1jzgtte TT toyota soarer that was at a local scikotics meet. It was pretty sick, they spaced out the wheels and awe man it was nice. Only been here in Vegas for 2 weeks now, straight from japan.

 

thanks, I have a different set of rims waiting once the weather breaks here in Mi. and then I'll see about spacing out the rear. the fronts are just about flush.

I almost bought a JDM Soarer (SC300/400) but I was iffy on getting it through customs, getting it delivered, making sure it arrived in the same condition that the photos showed.
I was real surprised how cheap they are, but the shipping and everything else adds up http://www.findjapancars.com/search/find.php?type=COUPE

check out some of the new BB's over there

 

Just ordered some wheels Monday and they already got here today. I have to wait for all the Spring and all the snow to melt before I can enjoy em, but I did a test fitting. They are Drag DR-31 18x8et35 with Hankook Ventus V12 Evos 225-40-18. They look pretty good and will look even nicer once I get my coilovers.

 

Looks awesome!

 

You have me second dream wheels, i wanna get 18x9 20 in the rear 30 in the front

 

Nice choice!

 

would you happen to know how flush the rear is and the front is to your fenders? Thanks.

 

An 18x8 with +35 I'd bet he is dead even flush in the front.

 

Yep the front is dead flush. Rear could use a little spacer but I'm gunna wait until I get my coilovers on in the spring to decide.

 

fitment

 

nice! man i might go staggered 18x8 in the front 35et, and 18x9 in the rear 20 offset or
18x9 45et front and 18x9 20et, lol the front i can never make my mind up on Dx oh well i got lots of time before i get new wheels lol.

 

What size tires are you running oreo? Looks great!

 

lol i am on element wheels right now looking at drag dr-31's 18x9 all around i think i may go 38 et front and 28 or 15 rear. I have no idea yet Dx oh and point of story i clicked the will this fit my car and it said No xD

 

Sweet. I love the 9 wides cause then they are concave. What are your plans for suspension?
