New wheels, brakes, suspension - PICS!
Well today I got my new wheels in. They are Volk GT-Us, 17x7.5 up front with a 27mm offset, and 17x8 rear with a 35mm offset. I got them used , straight from Japan. They are in really nice shape though, and Ive always wanted a set of Volk mesh wheels, and Ive finally got them. For now they are wrapped with the used tires they came with ( Yokohame Advan A032s) but I will be getting new tires soon, and going with the same sized I have had previously on my '03 Mustang GT wheels, which was 255/40 rear and 235/40 fronts. While I was at it , I installed my new slotted rotors, and took some pictures along the way. Suspension is brand new as well, Tokico HP struts and Tokico springs. No real spectacular pics, but you get the point. Keep in mind there is no engine/tranny in the car, which is why it is sitting so high. I also had a hell of a time getting the front rotors off, as you can see by the 1st pic Let me know what you think. Sorry about the engine in the car shot, I didnt feel like moving it. That should be going in shortly as well. Pics time:

What tires do you plan on wrapping those in?

Thats what I am probably going to get whenever these 712s wear out. I have heard nothing but good things about their dry traction, not so many good things about their wet traction though. But I'm getting ahead of myself, these 712s won't wear out for another lifetime.
