Name: Cnordt24 Wheel: Konig Feather Size: 15x6.5 Offset: +38 Color: Black Tire: Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2 Size: 195/55 R15 Lowered?: yes If Yes, What Setup?: Eibach pro kit Front Rubbing: Only if I hit a bump at high speeds and it is minimal Rear Rubbing: No Comments: I didn't need to adjust anything, I don't get any rubbing while turning or cruising around town. I get a tiny bit of rub if I'm flying down the highway and I hit any kind of dip in the pavement, but it's minimal.
Had these installed a couple days ago. Enkei RPF1s, Bright Silver, 15x7, +41 offset, Muteki SR48 Black Lugnuts. Mounted on Kumho Ecsta 4Xs, 195/55/15s which I had the stocks on previously. Total weight at each corner is 27 lbs down from 35 lbs. The stance is much better as the wheels pushed further out fill the wheel well nicely.
This is the first set of lightweight rims I've owned on any car. Biggest difference to me is the braking by far, followed by handling then acceleration. The ride is more comfortable than stock and more sensitive as well. In the spring I want to clean up the rust on the calipers and rotors. A slight drop and some tire dressup will do wonders to the overall look being I have thicker sidewalls.
Shout out to Spencer at the Bean Garage for the purchase and awesome communication back when I bought these in August.

These shoes really feel great. Nice ride quality and confident grip, really quiet. IMO they fill the wheel wells out a bit better than the 185 stock size and the tread pattern looks legit.
Terrible pics, stay tuned... Need to do something about the bare alum on the extra lug holes.
I had some new rubber installed recently and the tire shop chewed up the finish on one of my wheels so...since they were paying to re-powdercoat the one I figured I might as well do 'em all. I had the original Enkei valve stem caps and my DIY center caps sprayed to match.

On the plus side, I weighed these wheels and tires vs stockers with worn Goodyear Eagle GTs. They were a solid 6-7lbs (!!!) lighter each. Needless to say acceleration has improved drastically.
If I have one complaint about this setup its that I wish the rear suspension was a bit stiffer, some more hardcore springs or Koni yellows would probably be nice. Its good with the progress rear bar, but could be better with some moar stiffness. Also was hoping to get some BFG G force Comp 2s but they were sold out in 195/50/15 when i was buying.
A couple more photos, the first is fully loaded with probably a couple hundred pounds of camping gear in yosemite. some rear rubbing on extreme freeway dips but a blast on mountain road driving even fully loaded.
