those were yokohama s-drives, super comfy tire up front, beware that wont stretch on a step lip easliy, reverse lip just like how its shown in the picture didnt even use a cheetah, it beaded itself. never bubbled and i drove with 5 people in the car on the wack streets of venice without a worry.
ready for a road trip with a full car and crazy stretched tires 18x10.5 225/40 and 18x11.5 255/35

tread wear was good, they were on 10's first, and even with my camber when switched to the 10.5 they were even. they will stretch onto a 1 piece easily and i wish i still had that car

^^ Thanks guys

mIStaSC - You know i was thinking about doing another color scheme, maybe spf or chome lip, but the thing is i added so much black already to make old set of wheels work with the car, that when i photoshoped polish silver wheels on it, it didnt flow or look right. The contrast was just too off. I think light wheels on a light car will not look as good as light wheels on a dark car. I believe contrast is always key . So i choose to stay with my black and silver theme, ofcourse going way more aggressive and wider, i have credit card clearance on my brakes haha. This time the centers are more of a satin black as the others were a matte.

...but 5 Spoke in a total win on the IS. I always see IS with mesh or multi spoke wheels, so i decided to go back to a more classic sporty style like Rob and Phil888 did. Its also so much easier too clean and makes the brakes pop!
