No more "Stance" more "Function"
Bought our GS a few years back as a family car. Wanted nice big low offset wheels straight up.
Ended up with 19 x 9.5 and 10.5 VS-XX...worse wheels I could have ever put..they were so heavy, performance and handling suffered.
Lived with it for a year or so...then went back to stock as the tyre blew out on my Wife while I was in another state (Watching the Formula 1 lol).
So I bring in wheels/coilovers/exhausts etc from Japan so was on the hunt for Some BBS RG-R, as the next set of wheels I wanted was 18", with a lower offset than standard, but forged and light weight. Budget couldnt stretch to any used BBS, but I found a set of nice Prodrive wheels. Long story short, put them on and havent looked back! 18 x 8.5 +22 and 9.5 +25. Car is currently getting the BC coilovers removed for some Tanabe Sustec Pro 7 coilovers too!

Nice look!! love the rims and the drop! I noticed your rear bumper doesn't have the plastic black on the bottom... and a 07 front bumper plus you have side turn signals! Then again you arent from North america so idk if its different... And are those molded mud flaps?

Thanks all!
The rear was painted silver to match (After a car bumped it in the parking lot)
The Mudflaps are a Japan option I added, and the bar/side indicators are factory...so not sure there lol
