Thank you sir! She's my pride and joy. Still lots to do though.

Concerning wheels, they are officially 19x8.5" / 19x9.5" with a 40/48 mm front/rear offset, respectively. There all also 3mm spacers front and rear. The only time i've had rub is at 45mph+ over a pretty good size bump. Nothing at full lock or at speed on smooth / mildly bumpy roads. Not even issues with hard cornering, but I've never tracked her, so I've never cornered her to her max either. but, I love them. It's a great setup I think. Incredibly aggressive and planted, and still beautiful through corners.

Did you have them custom made? The performance is stitched right? do you mind sharing your source?!? hehe
all the Alcantara Parts are of my own making
at first i used a "fake" alcantara ( grey) but then i
switched to original alcantara ( deep-black)
the dash hood is still covered in fake alcantara ..have to change it one day

already sold a couple "Trim-Set's" ova here but the guy who is making
the stitching for me is to bussy currently that's why i have to wait bevore i can continue making Trims

Thank you very much buddy. Your girl looks gorgeous too. ...and yes, they are the VMR's. 19's.

I'll have to post new shots soon because I just completed the LCI upgrade to blacklines and will be installing a new kerscher body kit soon. Lots to do, so little time. And I most definitely want alcantera interior everything... But way too pricey I think, and I can't find it anywhere anyway. :-(
