I was thinking the fogs he has now look different as I'm pretty certain the previous ones were singles and these look like duals... optical illusion maybe?

I prefer a more clean timeless approach when it come to Stance.
Man IMO your car is sitting perfect. Specs on the wheels?

Nope... The last place I saw them was TopGearAutosport (which were selling them for $140, which was double what they were on eBay), but they've been discontinued. I'm kicking myself for selling mine now LOL. Oh well, if anything, Artisan Spirits still has theirs.

Scratch that... I just found them on ilovebodykits.com; still the Halo version (Clear/Clear) are $135 and the non-Halo version (Blue/Cleare) are $119. I sent them an email asking how many they had in stock so I'll let you know what I find out.

I ran a taller tire in the rear to compensate for the factory fenders being lower in the rear. I don't care for the full wheel tuck look the Gs and Bmw's have when slammed unless they are on bags. I prefer to have a bit of a rake look but the wheel to fender gap is perfect front and back. Plus it allows me to drive up steeper entries without ripping the mufflers off.

Front 225/35
Rear 245/40

Excuse the filthy car, I needed to fab something to cover the edges of the mesh, figured it was a good time to switch things up with the fogs. I'm not 100% thrilled with how they came out, but haven't decided whether to leave them as is or not.
