Default New Wheels...Plus painted my old wheels....rattle can job btw

So the only advantage I can see to moving to Chicago from San Francisco is having two sets of wheels....i picked up these ADR wheels for my winter setup.....I also decided to paint my summer setup

I previously had my wheels painted a dark grey metallic color....i switched to a black....i used 7 coats of black and 3 coats of clear coat..and yes this is a rattle can job

Default The pirelli tires are great...super sticky but super expensive and they wear soo fast

I have been able to pick up a bunch of sets with 8/10s on them off of wrecked porsches though....I got the set that I have on their now for 100 a tire.....one of the tires had a small slash in the sidewall......really really small....so the guy sold me the set of four for $300 and they had almost 9/10s on them

Default Can you please show a picture of your car with your 25mm spacers?

I'm also FWD and want to see what that looks like with 25mm on all four corners as opposed to say a 15mmF/25mmR setup.

The 15/25 looks way better because the 25 sticks out too far I had to do it because of my brakes
