Didn't see one of these yet. I just bought mine but havn't actually taken delivery of it yet. It is a 2011 SES 4door in Blue Flame Metallic with the lighter interior. I'll be sure to update my post with pictures when I get it. When you post put your mods before your first picture so we know what you have done. Look forward to seeing everyone's car's and am really looking forward to actually getting my car!!

Most people with the SES wheels run 15 in the rear so I would say 10mm up front 20 rear.

There is a way to measure with a straight edge and a ruler with mm and you can measure the space between the fender line and the wheel/tire to give you an idea on how much of a spacer you need. I was mainly wanting a spacer for the rear since the body kinda "widens" out and want a more "flush" appearance.

Heres a older pic with those wheels. And yeah im definitely going 20 to 25mm on the rears. The eibach 25mm's studs are attached to the spacer itself.

FINALLY EAP/SES WHEELS. I need to stop buying wheels, god damn fourth set in 4 months. These will be staying though, looked long and hard for these.

Took me about 40 minutes using the stock tools, lets just say I got my work out in for the day. Noticed a few peeling spots 2 that are bigger then a quarter, but for 160 with good tires I shall not complain.

As for the topic of spacers, it shouldn't take too long to put the new studs in. I know on FSwerks the H&R spacers come with the new studs. Thinking about pushing the limits a little more with 20mm in the rear and 15mm up front to really fill in the wheel wells since i'm not lowered and don't plan on going lower. Gotta get my fenders rolled some though and all should be good. I'll post pictures of before and after and the process when I get around to buying the spacers.

Are you on h&r coilovers? If so how to they ride? And do you experience any rubbing? I'm thinking about upgrading to coilovers and want to go a little lower.![Image]()

Yes H&R Coilovers. I haven't experienced any rubbing. The ride is rougher than stock and that's all ican really compare it too. It just took time getting use to but I love them and the looks I get. Constantly get compliments as well. Do plan on removing adjusters in the rear to bring it down some more and when I get new front tires it'll be brought down as well. Should be soon hopefully. But I say go for it, Coilovers is just the way to go. I constant read people who got springs and always wanted lower. I skipped springs and just got em and glad I did.Are you on h&r coilovers?

This is a PSA to all the lowered guy if you plan on going with the CFM 4 point brace on the lower end DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT GO LOWER then a 45 series tire. Ask me how I know, It was harsh until I went back to a 205/50 16 the damn brace would hit everything and their grandmother even the most moderate of speed bumps"BAM" Almost every damn time I literally had to slow to a crawl and even then that didnt even work.

I figured it would be a more rough ride than stock especially going really low. I wish I went a head and got coilovers instead of springs but at the time I wasn't really wanting to spend that kind of money, but now I want them because with my current appearance being a little lower just to eliminate the wheel space would complete the look I'm going for. It's definitely on the list for my next mod.

I was gonna say I thought that was the 3d carbon rear but you was missing the rest. That kit is so nice. I plan on getting mine next years show season some time.

I will agree with MAC when he says these are the only wheels that belong on our cars.
I am going to be painting these because they are a little flaked. There is afew colors I am thinking of, help me out guys!
Silver (lighter then current) close to the dash color, painting the wheels this color would help the outside flow with the silver and black inside.
Bronze- Love these wheels in bronze, possibly look good on Sangria red
Gold- Might be a little too orange for me, but like the idea, opinions?
Gloss/Flat Black- Looks agressive, takes away from clean-ness.
