NEW SHOES!! And crappy brakes

well as some of you may know my car has been in the shop for a long time seven weeks to be exact due to a mishap on the fwy after i had just gotten the wheels and brakes.. so i got a chance to take a few quick pics before a meeting today and would like to share with you guys..









wheels are 20" VOLK G2s and the brakes well.. im sure you know by now

Here is my old Set ups

GOLD SSR MS1s


OEM 19s

p.s. yes i need spacers up front and yes i need to drop it more in the rear.. i havent had time to get to it.. im just glad i have her back but ill take more pics when i get those details done. and Exhaust is Invidia Gemini and i love the SOUND!!!!!

Car looks awesome, your lip needs a paint job though and what's up with the bumper just below the headlight?

What happened on the freeway and what work was done?

The wheel and brake combo looks absolutely amazing. Love the look of the exhaust, get some sound clips of that for sure!

Can't wait to see it with spacers and a bigger drop!!

yeah lip will be replaced with a new front bumper.. and side skirts.. and rear bumper soon.. but you'll have to wait and see i wont disclose on that lol

long story short... Ichiba extended lugs = FAIL they rolled out my Hub and cause my studs to come loose.. which in turn made my wheel loose and then going on the FWY at 55mph the wheel came loose but not off and it got stuck under my fender well (because i was fvcken Slammed) and it just burned my paint as you can see (Rear Passenger) so.. new wheel, new tire, new hub, new handbrake assembly, new studs, new bearings were installed and the driver sides Hub suffered the same rounding out so it was replaced and a new bearing was also put on along with new hubs.. so yeah.. thats all lol

just to clarify.. the rear 10mm spacers were so my SSRs could clear the Endless rear brakes.. but i needed 15mm spacers.. and well... i didnt want to go that route.. so i just bought new wheels that same day and the studs were left on because it was late and i was told they wouldnt be an issue even without the spacer being used

It probably had more to do with the install than the extended studs.
