    gram light 57 maximums in shining silver
    17x8 +43 (i've already rolled the rear fenders to accomodate the offset)

    Carl, do you have the stuff to do it? I'd be interested in stuffing some 225's under my wagon.

    no I took it to my friend - he works at hypertek area 51 (that's right by morries bp subaru). he'll do them for like $45 a fender (probably cheaper if I arrange it) or he'll rent the roller and the heatgun out for 24hrs (can't remember the price for renting it - it was pretty cheap though. $25 maybe).

    it's a pretty easy process, kind of time consuming though. we took about 2 hours to do my 2 rears. also don't do it if you're afraid of minor paint cracking. This is the second car i've had rolled and both have had minor paint cracking. it's not noticeable due to the location (hairline cracks right at the fender edge or partially underneath the fender). I just cleaned off the area, put on a couple layers of touchup paint and was done.

    Awesome wheels man. Your car is going to be insane with all these mods you have been ordering :yumyum:

    Carl hooked me up with this guy last fall. Awesome work. Cost me $180 for the whole car. I needed it done to fit 225's on.
