New shoes - pics

So here are the new wheels/tires...

Enkei RS7s with non-runflat Falken 912s 215/45/17 91W from Edge Racing. Ordered Monday, arrived by 9a Wednesday. Installed and had over 200 miles by 9p. Very nice ride.

I bought the wheels because they were on special, but they kinda came out a lot better than I anticipated! Now I just need to fill in that open space with bigger brakes. I wonder what size would fit in there? The rear wheel with it's tiny disc looks especially odd.

Very nice! Congrats! How do you like the non-runflats?

I dunno if BBK's will fit underneath. But, you may want to look at these Wilwoods:
