Pics of new wheels and exhaust before and after install!

[CGPTSX006]

Pics of Work XD-9 17X8.5/17x9.5 with work lug nuts and Falken FK-452 and Apexi W2 catback exhaust. I also order the stickers set made for the work CR-kai in blue to use on the XD-9 to stick to the blue theme. Mounted and road force balance in my opinion worth the extra money as this service will ensure a vibration free ride and filled the tires with nitrogen which is an extra $2.50 per tire. I always wanted to go single but decided to get the Apexi for now and I'm glad I did, after the install and check for fitment it fits perfectly and clears everything. Took it out for a test drive immediately I felt and increase in power but haven't drive it at full throttle yet cause of no front bumper and the exhaust tone was throaty and sounds so much better than stock as it is not all that quiet and sounds just right. The exhaust weight in at about 44lbs which is about I would say 16 lbs saving over the stock 2 piece exhaust and 2.5" piping compare to the 2" stock exhaust piping so definitely better flow. I just install the rear for test fitment for now to see it clears everything. I have to get another alignment and raise the rear about .5" and run -2 degrees or so to clear the rear fenders. Have to get a photoshoot of car when all things are done. Still waiting for Bride seats and Endless BBK to complete my blue theme and some misc engine treatment. As far as lips kits that is still debatable and last on the list but I 'm still going for the stock looks.

Here are some pics of the front left wheel install but I haven't install the rest of the wheels as of yet. The wheels looks really flush and definitely fills the wheel well better than the 7.5" wide +50 offset and it is asking for the BBK. The last couple of pics I tried to put the dark grey Wedsport centercap to see how it would look and I kinda like it but I probably have to get the flush centercap and painted white to match the wheels instead of the dome centercap it just going to look cleaner.

Do the fronts rub when you go over a bump? Got a sound clip of your exhaust?

[Euro08Jaz]

What was the former rim?

[CGPTSX006]

Those rims + tyres sticking out abit..........I'm curious as too whether they rub too.

Looks like similar offset like mine, only mine is 19".
