Some pretty boxes showed up this morning:

So I went and got them mounted and brought them back home:

Quick shot up close:

Stock vs. Enkei RPF1 (top):

Stock 8 inch vs Enkei RPF1 8.5 inch:

Stock vs Enkei RPF1 on the car:

Both wheels installed:

Up close:

Different angle:

I was worried that they wouldn't fit, but they just barely made it!

Very agressive (17x8.5 +40):

I'll take some better pictures tomorrow when the light is better. I was rushing to get them on before the sun set

. The car will also be a tad lower in the pictures tomorrow because I never moved the car after jacking it up. The suspension sets a little when you move it after it's been jacked up

.

I have decided that I'm going to paint the wheels white and the calipers blue. It should look awesome. I can't wait!

Did you weigh the wheels and/or the tires? (assuming you are using a different size tires than you were before)

Same tires (5 lbs lighter than stock), but the wheels are about 2 lbs lighter.
