Very nicely done, adequate drop and the Mayas look great. I would just get a spacer in the front but the rear fitment looks on point.

I went with the Tanabe NF110 like 70% of CL members. It rides pretty smooth in my opinion.

Complications:

1) Bought a set of Lowenhart BR5 that was made for lexus 114.3. But the guy failed to tell me he drilled the holes to BMW 5x120
2) Had to sell the Lowenhart and took a $200 loss
3) Bought some TPMS adapters for $90, but did not work with the Mayas DLS...so i ended up drilling holes for additional cost.
4) Had to send two of wheels to repair slow leak.
5) Bought Falken FK452 for $650; then i found a cheaper deal at $575...FML

Overall, it was a learning experience...I'm not buying use wheels again!!! the wheels are now in good shape and refinished nicely. I am open to selling them but not willing to take another loss.

I need some 5mm spaces to bring out the front wheels. Anyone got hooks?

I think the wheels look great man. They remind me of the 5 spoke Vossen wheels that are out

i too agree the fronts need at least a 5-10mm spacer, for a better looking stance!! other than that purty clean ride.

nice wheels, but car sits too high, and tyres are to tall.

What did you use to slam it? Coilovers or springs?
