I got tired of waiting for my DPE's and cancelled the order since they were at the finishers for 5 months and as to my knowledge they still havent been completed after placing the order almost a year ago.

Check their site now. It just got updated, but not fully. http://www.dpengineering.cc

Wow meatbag, what rims did you order? I'm thinking about purchasing some rims, but for that kind of wait, I can settle for other rims.

The R05 variant S in black. First it was sema then they seemed to just sit at the finishers for months. Creativeautoworks was nice enough to cancel the order which i didnt think you could do or maybe they are still getting the wheels and selling them on there own im not sure. The wait and excuses were just stupid. I would never buy from them again. I orderd a set of Jline wheels and after 1.5 months they are almost done and have them shipped.

oh crap, I didn't know the wait was that long either. I just placed my order a couple of days ago with Creative. They said that the last couple of sets they ordered only took 4 weeks to complete. The main reason I went with the DPEs was that they could build them fairly quickly. Which is why Iforged was out and Jlines coming from Japan too.

OZSponseredjti, what did you order? I ordered GT7 19x9 and 20x10 in titanium asphalt.

You're doing a 19/20 combo? I'm really curious how this turns out for you. I considered it but chickened out. Please post your pics and how your vdc does with this setup.

I originally was going to get 20's all around but couldn't get the right combination of tire sizes to get the stock diameter proportions. The fronts were too big in comparison with the rears. I also wanted to get a little bit more rubber on the front since those are the wheels that usually take the pot hole hit and end up getting bent. Tires are 255/35/19 and 285/30/20, which should give diameters of 26.03" and 26.74", which is pretty close to the stock 25.98" and 26.69". Hopefully the VDC doesn't throw a hissyfit.

as far as suspension I'm stock right now, I'll see how it looks and go from there. I really don't want to drop my car as I have a difficult time as it is now. My driveway is too steep and I scrape the front.

The ratio looks ok, you should be fine. VDC will throw a fit but only for a few seconds while it adjusts to the new sizes.

If you don't mind me asking... how much do the JLines for our cars go for?
