I felt and had heard a lot of comments that my wheels were the only thing holding me back and I agreed with it for a long time so I made the switch. They were dropped off today and mounted and balanced as soon as I could. I also added 3/8" spacers to the rear to bring the tires out farther to the fender so they werent so sunk in. That took a LONG time in itself because I had to drill out all 8 bolts since the rust had siezed them. Drilled the hole, stuck a piece of rod in, welded it inside the bolt, put vice grips on it, got a wrench on the back, broke all 8 bolts off where the drill bit stopped to get get them out. PAIN IN THE ASS. but the spacers fill the back out SO WELL!

I love the wheel tire combo, but honestly I think they would look better gunmetal.
Let us know what you think of the 615K's though, and if you think they feel any different than the 615's.
Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.
I <3 them. But you know this.
Your trailing arms need lengthened!

thanks, they SHOULD be going away soon. Fronts are slammed, rears are up like 2" still
Focal F05s are prolly my favorite 5 spoke wheels......they look great on your car!!!!!
I really want to see the spacers! My wheels are the same size, so I'd love to see how they look spaced out a bit... I usually hate all black rims, but they look sick!

RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...
ill trade ya! lol
they look great for your car bro
I think they look perfect on your car.... Mean and clean. Love it!
considering our rears dont do much for braking anyway, rear disc will probably be the last thing I do for the outside. First thing I do will be Wilwood fronts, then I'll do SSBC rears.
Since this is the last year for me putting go fast parts on it, im getting that done first then ill be getting the STD coilovers and then brakes upgraded. Im actually glad to say the car is nearing completion.
more pics coming today!

Lookin good and I hate colored rims, but they flow well. I'm still thinking about the STDs but I just don't drive my car enough, I'm leaning to just getting some used coil overs or B&Gs new. Eh time will tell.

lol I need to get some thing that's for sure my ride is horrible right now with blown struts. I don't think I can justify over 1,000 for coil overs on a car I might put 2,000 miles on.
in my humble opinion those wheels look drop dead gorgeous but im a sucker for flat black wheels
