Ya but winter is coming, I'm thinking for a spring look though definitely. Those wheels are nice. I have black sapphire I think black on black is to gangster, I think the machined silver would look more classy on the black. Looks great on White535's

Pics of black car with the machined silver anyone?

Sell the 128's i wont steal your shine

Okay, for the umpteenth time differential can only get damaged if your overall front and rear wheel diameters aren't within 3-4mm's of each other. You can use a tire size calculator to relatively reliably calculate the exact overall diameter of any wheel with tire. Also, keep in mind that extra width of a rim will stretch the tire, hence making the diameter incrementally smaller.


But most importantly, I've been reading about this myth of cracking differentials for more than three years now. In this time a few dozen Xi owners have put on staggered setups on their cars, and I have NEVER EVER heard/seen/read a first person account of anyone's differential leaking/cracking, or anything like that at all. I'm pretty sure this is long enough to legally consider this myth dead
