Hehe, yeah it took me at least a year to decide on the rims I wanted, only to find out that they didn't make them in the size I wanted. On to the next set... they used to make them in the right size but they discontinued two months before, etc,etc.

But I knew the style I wanted so when I was seriously in a buying mood I found these and bought about two weeks later.

Thanks! My camera does not do her justice.... I'll see if I can get a few more shots on the next track day. :sonic::burnout:

Still looks good Jim! I think part of the "height" issue is the 255/35's. Simply a lack of sidewall to fill out the wheel arches. I'd say next time around, shoot for a 265/40 or even 255/40 and it'd take on a much more muscular look.
You could even drop it another cm after that, and be level to where you were with the 255/35's, and they'd fill out the wheel well even better!


BTW: How are those M500's? I just learned of Avon Tech "tyres" and I heard they're good stuff.

 

[JimR]

Yeah I agree about the difference a 255/40 would make for looks, but it gets trickier when I consider all the factors. I have less than 5mm clearance on the inside of the fender so if I went with a taller tire, I'd have to roll the fenders or really tighten up the pre-load on the Teins.... neither of which I want to do.

It's all a compromise when you can't afford any wheel rub!

The M500's seem great so far. I have noticed that they don't squeal.... like at all. Even when I spin the tires, there is no noticable squealing sound. When I spun my old Toyo's, they would always make a noise. So when I'm at the track, I have to judge the sideslip more by feel than by sound.
