New shoes

As I mentioned, I drove the car home with what I was told was a bent front wheel. I took it to a local wheel repair shop and both front wheels came back straight, so I decided to toss my new 18" Apex SM-10 wheels on the car earlier than expected to see if that fixed the issue.

When we get the car on the lift, I went to put the front spacers and and noticed they wouldn't fit, which was odd. Upon closer inspection I found the previous shop that put the stock wheels back on the car before I purchased it left the aftermarket hubcentric rings on the front hubs. They just torqued the stock wheels down over them, I'm surprised they got them to fit at all




With the hubcentric rings removed we installed the ECS 5mm front/12.5mm rear spacers and the new wheels.



I've never had black wheels before and wasn't sure how they would look. It's a pretty "basic" look, but I'm really digging it.



Now it just needs a 1" drop all around
