What an incredible looking ride. BBS are the joint. These look so good on the white, too.
Only little thing is they look small.
Really nice though.

You're rubbing on stock height?? I rub in the front when I drive on uneven pavement or drive over a ditch/pothole. The rears only rub when I pull into inclines completely horizontal (to avoid pulling out my front fender with my wheel) Are you sure it's not just road noise? lol I highly doubt you'd rub with more than a cm of wheel gap.

that honda civic looks better than s2k...LOL
those offsets on s2k don't seem to work...looks too aggressive for that stock body look IMO

anyways,,I think your car would look better with some spacers in the rear to flush it out~

Hes running more camber + lowered the car now. It looks pretty good now hahaha he had to raise it up because initially he didn't have enough camber to clear the fenders. I'll post pics of how it looks now, it looks hella flush lollolololol

Which part of almaden do you live in? I live near Capital Auto Mall so i'm like branham/pearl. I always see a white ISX50 with black volks I think? I also see a white ISX50 that lives in the woods (the apartment complex on snell) I don't see many modded IS's period in general.

I live right near branham and meridian so I'm always around that area and Campbell/Los gatos area when I go to school. But I spot more modded 2GS than 2IS
