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

My car is driven about 10 miles a day and I drive like a grandma so spending that much more on getting 255/35's wouldn't have been worth it for.....not to mention they wouldn't fit at my height.
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.
