Nope, just the wheels.

+38? They look really far out.

Nice setup!

Still at stock height but we went with the TS-5s from Titan-7, also in Techna Bronze. (19")

Are these different offset from stock to get that flush fit or is it just the angle?

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought the same. They seem to be way out on the corners for a +45.

The factory offset is different... a whopping 60mm. In this case, less is more. They are 15mm out further than stock.

Yeah this look is much better than stock. I'm a little worried about additional road debris getting kicked onto the paint but just a typical sacrifice for aesthetics.

Do you anticipate any issues with rubbing or clearances when lowered? I like the idea of a 3/4 in or so drop eventually, will any mods need to be done to accommodate the additional wheel poke?

BTW I don't want to hijack this thread, the bronze wheels look great everyone.

I do not expect any issues with this setup, even after lowering it.

I will include a few other photos below. They wheels are about 6lbs lighter than factory each and the Titan-7 lugnuts I am using are 1.5lbs lighter than the factory set (total). I can't say that I have driven the car hard enough since installing them to feel anything but I think it is fair to assume that there are notable benefits there with such a large loss of unsprung weight.

Shameless plug: We are a Titan-7 stocking dealer. This is one of many examples of how we truly believe in and use the parts we sell.

Fitted on OEM tire or did you go a different size?

I ended up sticking with the OEM size. I was interested in a wider tire but couldn't find anything in stock locally that worked for me.

Anyone with a SGP with bronze? Been thinking about going bronze for mine but not sure if the colors would mesh.

I saw a reddit post of a SGP FK8 on bronze wheels (Enkei Triumphs) and they looked amazing. May have to follow suit once I am a bit more liquid.
