Looks really nice but I just don't see the purpose in super wide rims with skinny tires.

Agree with Blake reasoning on wider tires, but it looks good, no rubbing issue and hell it is a nice WAGON!!!

Photoshoot?

Keep the stretch tires look Bran!! I love it. You don't race it so it does not justify getting wider tires. 235 is perfect!

Now it's my turn... NOT! Hahahaha...

I perform better shooting one car at a time, possibly one location and I do it for free with certain extent and conditions

Result can be witnessed from Dave's Car picture.

Other photogs are welcome to come by and watch, I don't want to hear questions while I am shooting, this is really annoying and will reflect on the pix.

I take my work professionally!

Note: I don't do group pix.

Hey Mike how ya been? Yeah, me too, I still love the black/polished lip deal, but these wheels were calling my name. I actually wanted the HyperBlack, but didn't feel like waiting for a bunch of other guys to jump in on the deal from WheelDude. I'm actaully really pleased with the color and the final outcome.

I love it Brandon. I was just checking these wheels out on subydude last week and was wondering if I could make that size work with 245's or 255's.

Are those suckers heavy? I guess you can't complain when you can get the wheels and tires for less than Advans alone.

Yup, there's a guy in Vegas and his SN is "Calitri-Boost". He's running 18x9.5's with 255's and his STi is just slammed. Sooooooooooo Sick! He did have to do quite a bit of fender work, but the end result is awesome!

Thanks Brenden. Coming from such a sick 350z owner, I take this as a big compliment.
