here is a teaser pic of the install. More pics when the sun is back. ;-) the fit is perfect in regards to the KWV3 clearance and the offsets seem ideal.

My only concern... I looked all over the tires and found no directional markings. I will have to assume for now that the Pilot Sport PS2s are NOT a directional tire.

Nice. Not a fan of staggered setups, but I like those a lot better than your RHs.

Default yea, these are 8.5 and 9.5. So the stagger is less (but still happening with nice rear lip)

also the Fikse rims are a true three piece forged rim. without a doubt a world class piece of functional art. I love that they are three piece yet stealth the fasteners on the inside of the rims. (the rhs were *nice* but the faux multi-piece thing was a tad lame;-)

Default Where do I get rims like that?

Who makes them what model are they and how much do they cost?

Default Those are in my opinion the best I have seen.

But I'm flat broke after my timing belt so I gotta wait awhile.

Default Awesome Bob! Looks like the rear lip is a tad smaller than mine which would

result in the better inner clearance for the KW's. They look great.
