Default First 2IS on Weds SA-67s

And it's bangin'!

I ordered them 2 months ago back in August at JLB Motorsports with Dustin
and then got the call Thursday they finally arrived. For a killer deal on wheels backed by great service and friendly guys, JLB is the place to go.

Each wheel is approximately 8lbs less than OEM, saving ~32 lbs from rotational mass. On the freeway after having it installed, it may have just been placebo, but the car felt smoother over bumps.

18x9 +36 F
18x10 +35 R





Front wheel



Rear Wheel


I'm just using the OEM tires until they need to be replaced. Running 225/40 F and 255/40 R they have a mild stretch.


The drop on H&R Springs is good for now, I couldn't see daily driving any lower around downtown LA, too impractical.
As far as I know, I am the first 2IS with the Weds Sports SA-67r's
There have been F's with these weds, but I haven't been able to find an ISx50 yet with them.

Also to add the BLC finish is cool how it reflects the street so well. On asphalt, the wheels look like a black chrome vs it being gray chrome on concrete. Pictures online don't capture the color that well.

This is a picture I snapped in the shop.

They do look a little flat for RR face, but I think 18x10 only comes in RR face and 18x9 comes in R face.

Nice wheels! They look awesome!
