Very interested in seeing the Apex2s on a car. I've been searching for actual pictures of the wheels on a car ... or at least something other than the pictures on edgeracing.

sorry, been very busy these days to take a pic of the subzeros (had them on for no more than a month before swapping to winters), they do have it in alot of colors btw

and the FAST wheels arent too expensive... i got a trade for my old motegi wheels... so not too sure about price... but they lists somewhere about 200 bucks canadian.... PIG heavy though, just fyi,

and lastly, thanks for the kind comments!

They are 17" and the steel grey color! It has a 45mm offset, with 67.1 hub and 7.5 wide, it has 215/40r17 on them. The tires are way nosie, but the rims are nice, they will clear any BBK without wheel spacers.

No.

I thought it was pretty obvious but it seems it wasn't that picture is a photochop! But the car is in for paint so when it's back that's what it will look like and the matte black stuff will be bodycolor as well. Come on Ken, did you really think I'd leave it that high in the front?

Thanks everybody! I just wanted to show you how they look, for the guy asking about them. I hope it helped!

Will do! I'll probably get it back next week but spring is late so it's still snowy out, as soon as it's gone I'll get the coilovers on, I can't wait!

Nice, I really like the kinds of rims where the spokes are a bit curved or have more innie / outie kind of dimensions (if that makes any sense). I'm in norcal too, maybe i'll see your car one of these days!

And where are your wheel arches and such?
