Took long enough. I actually bought my wheels and tires back in July, but I had to wait until August for the heptagonal lug nuts I ordered from Japan. I ended up going with the following setup;
Wheels: Gramlights 57CR in glossy black,
18x9.5 22 offset squared.
Tires: Continental DWS06 255/45 squared
Rides great. The tires grip the road well, and I'm calculating a roughly 6-7 pound weight saving at each corner from coming off the stock 19's with 20mm spacers. I can tell she has a bit more pep in her step. And ZERO RUB! Only thing I was nervous about, due to the aggressive size and offset upfront. No alignment done or needed. Still in factory spec across the board. She looks great, rides great, couldn't be happier.
As for the the other mods I've done to her, I have zero complaints. Yeah, ride is a bit rougher compared to stock, but that's to be expected. Handling is incredible, and it feels better than the day I bought her. I just wish I could drive more.
