          Ltws look good. What are the specs? A nice buff or claybar would look great for removing those rust stains.

            They're a staggered set. 17x7.5" with 225/45's up front and 17x8.5" with 245/40's in the rear.

            I'll wash her up nice sometime soon, the rims are dirty in these pictures as well.

              It's a shame that the fronts are so skinny. Looking good though:)

                  So..... 7.5" is skinny :)  I got rid of my Style 5's because they were too skinny at 8".

                    Traded my LTW's to damnboy037 for a set of Kosei K1's.  Now both of my cars have matching shoes :)

                        Bad news. 3 spokes on one of my K1's sheared in half. Not sure where I can pick up another, but this sucks.

                                        Ehh, I beg to differ but I don't think it's his fault either.  I have not had a problem with the K1's on my Miata for over 5 years and they have been abused like no other.  I know a friend in CA who beats the crap out of his M3 on the track with K1's, no problem.  Also, a local guy has had them on his M3 for years, again, without a problem.

                                        Not sure if it's because of how these were powdercoated or what, but either way it sucks.  Hopefully I can find a replacement.

                                        I liked them, but I like the K1's much better.  Plus, who doesn't want matching rims on both of their cars? :)

                                          Powder Coating can affect the structural integrity of a rim. So that's definitely a possibility.
