^my car is super dirty. should be getting claybar and wax tuesday though, weather dependent. it hasn't been washed in probably 2 months, and has been up to the mountains while it was snowing pretty hard 5 times.


oh and the drop is coming soon too, just have to decide on what springs i want.

thanks. I love the color combo too.

i'm a little unsure of it right now, i think it's just because of the size of the tires and the stock stance.

i'm very close to ordering springs now though, i've gotta suck up some of that wheel gap... i'm leaning away from tsw's now that i see how much gap I really have...

also looking at aftermarket mud flaps, may go with some rally armor flaps and continue my subaru wanna be look... lol

Understood about the wheel gap, we all try as we might to eliminate as much as possible...its looking good.

I went into the Prestige Mini dealership in NJ for a routine visit with my 16" rims and left with these 18". They had a Clubman on the lot, about to be be purchased but the customer didn't like these rims. I was lucky to strike up a deal and leave with these, it was the best purchase I've made so far but I'm not certain about the weight (I do know they are JCW wheels). Yours look fantastic, great choice...!

Thanks! They are great tires. This will be my second set! Not that they wore out already, but I wanted to get new shoes on my new tires for the summer. Love the Generals!
