The OFFICIAL Fit Shoes Thead! (Lug Nuts Included!)
Hi Jman, I know what you mean. I love mine as well and they are slowly becoming my favorite wheels. This from a guy who's owned a set of polished RC Stark 2's, Mugen RNR's, Volk GT3's, Rays Gram Lights, Rays G-Games, and 4 sets of Enkei RPF1's. I had 2 of my buddies ride with me yesterday along with my wife. With the 4 of us, the car rarely rubbed. It only rubbed during big dips on the free way but that only happened twice.
Hey Baller what's ur MPG w/ the feathers weighs? and how much do they weigh?
I went from stock sport gd3 rims w/ eagle GT tires, to 13 lb rims w/ the stock dunlops and my milage went up 6 mpg

Not sure yet, I've put less than 30 miles on them so far. I had some teething problems w/ them holding air after the TPMS sensors were rebuilt and installed, but now all is well. The wheels weigh 11.9 lbs each and they were a great price! The Nitto's weigh exactly 20 lbs each - so 31.9 lbs a piece. The stock 14" steelies and tires weighed 32.6 lbs. My 18's weighed a hefty 39.8 lbs each. Between the 15's and 18's you can tell a huge difference in acceleration and ride with the lighter wheels. I think the 15's ride even better than the 14's with the lowering springs. The Nitto's are pretty dang sticky, so I think the MPG might go down slightly. I'm not really concerned with MPG, I would rather improve handling, but I will let you know what I find out since you asked!

I know people are gonna tell me to drop my car more but I am not a social conformist; I just do what I like. I got rid of my AXIS OG sans and picked up this set of 15x8 +25 Enkei J-Speed II's with 195/45/15 Toyo Proxes tires. Very smoothe and very lightweight. I am very happy. I am happily lowered on Progress Springs.

). I never was really concerned w/ gas mileage before, so Im not sure how it compares w/ stock.

hello, did you lower this?
Finally got my new wheels/tires today. It really changed the look of my 08 Base.
Old with hub caps and 14" wheels/tires:
New with 15X7 Voxx Legra and Dunlop Direzza DZ101 in 205/50-15. I would have liked the look of some 16/17" wheels, but I commute 125 miles round trip to work and the 15's have enough sidewall to keep some comfort on a rough Interstate.

Wheel: Rota Circuit 10
Size: 15x6.5
Offset: +45
Color: Full Royal Sports Bronze
Tire: Yokohama S.drive
Size: 195/55R15
Lowered?: Yes
If Yes, What Setup?: Swift springs, stock shocks
Front Rubbing: No*
Rear Rubbing: No
Comments: NO fender (lip, liner, etc.) modifications. Although stock sized,
S.drive's are wider than the stock Bridgestones.
*Front did rub on occassion over deep dips and such at high speeds, but otherwise no complaints for daily driving.
Rub was minor and only on the top most fender liner clip. Stock front camber was -0.2/-0.5 (L/R).
Rub went away after installation of SPC camber bolts and camber set to -1.7 L/R.
I am aware of the front lip/fender mod tip, but I do not wish to do any body mods.
Rear fender clears without issue.
