Default Smoked Chrome LC818 on Black
A couple people have requested that I post pics of the the smoked chrome LC818 on my black car. Thanks to my friend bigrahizzl for snapping these shots from a local cruise-in.

Specs are the same as all 2IS LC818 fitments - 19x8.5 +30 (225/35), 19x10 +38 (265/30). Dropped on Tanabe coils.

EDIT: Video from the same meet: http://vimeo.com/21001766
Good shots of the wheels are at the :18 and :40 second marks.

Very nice wheels. Love the concavity on the LC818s.

Rims look good. Too bad that the paint on the lip, side and back do not match the car paint.

Prices are $1599 shipped from your friendly neighborhood Wheeldude.com (a CL Vendor).

These wheels will actually be for sale in 2-3 months (I'm doing my part to offer support to Japan's economy).

Good eye. I have a new CF roof spoiler in my garage awaiting installation, and am considering a trunk spoiler.

My fenders are rolled, which should be standard practice for anyone who wants to lower the 2IS significantly and not be tucked.

I agree that these particular wheels would look best with an all-black car, not the "two-tone" of exposed CF. My next set of wheels will flow a bit better with that theme.



Thanks for the compliments, everyone!

looks nice but it's a young person's car now (as are all heavily modded 2IS). My friends would think I was having a mid life crisis if I showed up in that. haha

I think I just dated myself (but at least I look young)

any way to match the rims to the chrome around your windows? It looks too bright now with all the other muted darker tones around the car...
