That is vintage gold plasti dip + glossifier & brakedust pretty much 'baked' into the plasti dip. Plasti dip doesnt like trackdays it's a mess to keep the color as is, hence the switch to powdercoating. Still no idea what to go for, was thinking of a darker gold again but now that the anthracite OEM 19''s are back on the car, the gold kinda feels cheap... edit: They'll be painted instead of powdercoated. I discussed it with the paint shop and i'll try a slightly yellowish bronze (if that makes any sense at all ) I'll get to see a sample of what they come up with in a couple of days. The idea is to get something like the rear wheel of this (badly edited on my phone) picture: Thanks a lot Artemis for posting those autogespot pics, I wasn't even aware 'till I started looking for inspiration in here Last edited by serial`; 04-14-2014 at 09:11 AM.. |

For your 1M, we would recommend for you to have camber plates in order to use the 18x10" ET25 wheels with a 275/35/18 sized tire to have adequate fender clearance. The OEM suspension does not allow for enough negative camber to be able to utilize a 275/35/18 tire with the 18x10" ET25 wheel without rubbing.

Great looking 1M, mangotangoe. Is that the 18x9.5" ET22 wheel with a 265/35/18 Michelin PSS?

Fall Photoshoot: ARC-8 18x9.5et22 Anthracite and VO
Square set up on 18x9.5et22 (shod with 275/35/18 RE-11s). Was going to try 265s, but Costco couldn't get them. Had to use Vorschlag Camber plates up front, and the fronts still rub a bit (only notice when in reverse and 80% of full lock). I'm not sure I'm satisfied with the gap up front, but I'm trying to avoid fiddling with the stock suspension. Also, when the tires are cold, I get some vibration (gets better when warm tires or warm weather). I don't think there is any significantly abnormal wear patterns, even though I've got the camber neg 1.8 up front (stock is neg 0.8-0.9 according to the alignment sheet).

Oops, you're right...typo

Apex recommended the 9.5 because I didn't want to change the suspension, I was trying to avoid rubbing, and I wanted a square setup. |
