Almost certainly lowered.

I think (I could be wrong, to quote @Tickle ) that particular BB is lowered on Eibach Sports Line Springs.

What wheels did you choose? Or will it be a surprise? Haha

I've ordered a set of inexpensive Super Speed RF03RR wheels to start...
For street use, I think these will be fine...but not for racing.
With blue color rays lugs, and possible red color center caps

Right on, look forward to seeing them mounted!

Well, I lied
The White set still needs to be mounted and balanced.
But for now, it will be a set of Titan7, TR10 18x9.5 ET45...blue Rays Lugs.
Will post pics of the White SuperSpeed's when I get them mounted (maybe Saturday now).
What you guys think?

Looks great! I'm guessing I'll like these more than the white, though that's entirely irrelevant since it's your car.

I'm thinking about getting these but I think being a different white from the Champ White may drive me nuts so I may go with bronze.

Thinking about dropping off the white set at tire shop in the next hour...
so may have picture later today...

on a slightly different note, the car is way zippier now with these 18s...

Thank you! I was considering this set up but wasn't sure. I like it!

Don't go out of your way but I would love more photos. I know your car is lowered. B

Are the Pirelli tires a 35 profile? How is the ride? Notice any difference?

All good I'll get some more pics later when I head out for a swim...probably better lighting there as well. yes, they are Pirelli All Season 35 profile, but for some reason, the top looks a bit more stretched than I remember. But it's ok, the ride is great, and a lot more responsive compare to stock and my 19" forged honda accessory wheel. and it weighs 2.7 lbs, say almost 3lbs lighter than the forged 19" Honda with Advan AD08's each corner.

For now, 45 offset for people who may want to up to 275 tires in the future, otherwise, go 38 offset and stay with 265/35/18 for best results. But my thinking may differ from other, just like I sometimes try to think, but nothing happens

I'll pick up the white set from tire shop later, and will roll around with that set tomorrow. Obviously will post pictures of the white set so you guys can see and make your own decisions.

oh, white set gets high performance Summer tires (Falkin 615k+)

Never say never but I'm pretty damn sure I'll never need a 275. I'll daily this until I buy a Prologue or the like. Still I worry about the 38 offset just from a driving perspective.

So I'm trying to limit my wheel choices to nothing less than 45. Which, limits a good bit as you all well know.

These bronze are 45 offset; I'll get some up close later...
the white set will be 38 offset, so we'll get a actual up close comparison.

38mm offset looks mighty aggressive, but I'm likie-ing it tho
