I'm noticing a lot of cars around town have these. Just when I thought, I'm going to give my car an old school look, and instead of painting it by hand, I found tredwares..

Thanks Tredwares..Now everyone is doing it! Sucks - these are already getting played out.

It does look good though. Until you pull up to a light net to a Scion that has the same matching set.

It's back to stock rotors and brake pads for me. It's funny now not hearing any squealing coming from my brakes. It's pretty nice lol

Here's the update my headlight situation. So the problem was with the ballast and after I switch it out with the new ballast and cleaned up the connection it's working again. Here some pics




New ballast and cleaned the connection

you will be able to fit them but it just depends on your tire set up. I was able to make my 19's fit with the same off set as you listed with 225 front and 255 rear. I tried it was 235 up front but that caused rubbing issues.

I have a wheel question for you. I am on stock m sport suspension and considering a set of VMR 710 in 18x8.5 +45 front and 18x9.5 +45 rear.

Do you think +45 will be flush and not problematic with the rear?
VMR doesn't have +50 in stock and I know +50 would be a little more tucked.

Please get back to me and let me know what you think,
I appreciate your help.

my old vmr set up was +40 in front and +45 rear, tires sizes were 235 front and 255 rear. in the rear I had to modify the fenders a little bit because of rubbing but then again I was lowered and not on stock m sport suspension. the front I originally had 245 but had to go down to 235 because of rubbing, I had also pulled my fenders in front as well.
