Default mini-photoshoot of my SGM IS-F

I got a little bored this weekend....so I washed and waxed my F and took it out for an amateur photoshoot. It's not often we get nice clear spring days in Seattle, so it was an excellent opportunity to share updated pics of my ride. Enjoy...

Looking good! It's great to see the hard work after a good wash and wax with some good pics afterwards. Nicely done!

Thanks! The Type F's are 19 x 8.5 42mm front. 19 x 9.5 38mm rear. The fronts aren't quite as flush as the rears, but the next offset up would have been 22mm, which would have poked out a bit.

Sorry I asked, its in your sig. I meant to ask too what tire sizes are you running? If its wider like the 275 or 285's, how do they fill the wheel width? I'm pretty sure flatter and better than our 9" rear rim

Nice pictures!!! WHat center caps are you using? I got the silver with CF, but it's high profile.

No problem. The tires are 245/35 front and 275/30 rear Dunlop Direzza DZ101's. According to tirerack.com, the shoulder width is a bit narrower than other brands in the same size. Also, the Direzzas have a pretty pronounced lip for curb rash protection, so they give a bit of a "stretched" look on the wheels. Before I got my SSR wheels, I had these tires on the narrower stock rims, and they had a nice blocky and square look.
