New wheels just came in!
Hey guys,
My new SSR Vienna LM-9's in Super Black Coat just arrived yesterday. I got the tires mounted up today and put them on the car this evening.
Here are the specs:
Front - 18" x 8.5" +37 NR Disk
Nankang 225/40/18 Tires
Rear - 18" x 9.5" +30 SL Disk
Nankang 235/40/18
The car sits on Tein Flex Coilovers with EDFC. No rubbing issues as the front and rear fenders are rolled.

They aren't actually Chrome. They are Super Black Coat which is kind of similar to a black chrome, but it actually is not plated at all. It is more of a powder coating process and the lips are actually polished.
I can take more pics tonight of the rear.

Well, You pretty much have to be a little stretched since the offsets are a little on the aggressive side. I think anything larger than the 235/40/18 would definitely have rubbed even with the fenders rolled.

Not bad at all, are you going to do the rest of the chrome touches too? Door handles / B pillars / etc?
