haha, i have a favorite fwy circle: 10 west la ciennega exit in beverly hills. i had a ricer RSX base with the plate JDM RSX try to follow one morning on the way to work. suggested speed limit is 15 mph, i went 65 and the RSX did his best to continue to tailgate me. after the apex i was able to beat the light, the RSX didn't even see the light turn yellow

Hi I saw your wheels and they are Drag DR9's, I did not know these wheels are available in 42mm offset??? I checked dragwheels.com but the only offset available for these wheels is 40mm???

Your rear wheels don't rub even with heavy load? I love your wheels! The drop is perfect. This is one thing I have to look for. Plus rep!

lol does this mean yes? +42mm offset still rubs. +45mm seems to be the perfect offset.

Spoon is kinda pricey unless you can find a great deal on eBay like I did. But there is nothing wrong with the T1R setup it is definitely a lot cheaper like half the price of the Spoon setup....Good luck.
