Sizes/offsets? Or does she still have to pick a set of wheels?

They are on the car already. AME Shallen MX's. I don't know the offsets, just that they are 18x9" front and 18x9.5" rear. Judging by the lip sizes and how they fit the car, I'd say very close to negative offsets or low positive single digit's would be my guess.

I'm sure Sara will stumble on to this thread and shine some more light...

Defiantly. A++ work, I couldn't be happier. Especially since my car had been previously wrecked, there was quarter panel damage that has been repaired. Jin took extra caution to make sure my entire QP didn't buckle out or anything crazy. It took some extra work on Jin's behalf due to the previous damage, but like I said everything turned out great.
I think Jin put in a 12 hour day working on my car, and Chris was a trooper with the heat gun. He got my car hot, hot, hot. Awesome guys.
Theres a big contrast between my front fenders, and rears. I got the fronts done elsewhere and regret it. If your gonna mess with it, get it done right the first time.

18x9 -1 18x9.5 -3.
I only roll on negative offsets, yo.

I'm adjusting the coilovers here in a bit to see how low I can go.

That is sick

I have been thinking about getting a more aggressive stance on my car, think I need to stop by Kyoei and see what you guys can do.
