The wheels look great! I didn't know Rotiform could build barrels fitted for BBS wheels

Internet sensation in 3...2...1

Absolutely gorgeous setup! I'm sure you know already, but be careful turning to full lock when backing out of a steep driveway!

Very nice stance...looks like you have almost the same specs that I'll be working with in terms of offsets/specs. Just curious on what kind of camber you're running on the fronts...and if you had to roll your fenders at all?

Wow that stance looks freakin awesome but how does it handle? Reminds me of some of my VW buddies cars sitting on airbags.

boxcarracer- let me know if there is something else you want pictures of
lopro-thank you
washabi-it took quite some time, but they are more than capable of doing this
jdhertz11-sorry, i don't know who Norman is? should I?
race911-yes
p-daddy-i use my car daily, and i don't baby it. it doesn't rub,but the fenders were rolled as much as they could be professionally(he literally took a blowtorch to my paint, but he was a magician) and my section widths are narrow when you compare them to wheel widths.

thanks for all the kind words, wish we were all a little closer, it would be nice to have'em all next to each other...
