So, you might look at my wheels closely and see, why are the fronts reverse mounted but not the rears? So, before I picked up this set of LMs, I was going to buy a set off my friend. Exact same specs, they were 19x10/19x11 +25 all around. His fronts were face mounted, and his rears were reverse mounted. Long story short, he ended up selling them before I got all my money in order, so I ordered a set of brand new ones for myself.

When they arrived, I didn't bother checking the 19x11s, and I sent the 19x10s off to be reverse mounted so they match. After mounting them, I notice, why does something look off? Because mine for some reason are face mounted for my 19x11s.

So, the 19x11s came off today, and are being reverse mounted!

My final specs will be:

19x10 +12 on 255/35/19 Michelin PSS
19x11 +12 on 275/35/19 Michelin PSS

Additionally, I picked up an Akrapovic Evolution exhaust, should arrive towards the end of this week or early next!

Sandwich mounted LM's are some of my favorite wheels out there but I'm not going to lie those face mounted look REAL good

Yeah. I'm usually a much bigger fan of the reverse mounted LMs. But, I think these look ok to me, mainly because it's silver, and it blends in a bit more.

Fronts are actually reverse mounted already, and rears are face mounted in the photos.

Thanks! Rear lips are about to get even bigger, hopefully it's all done by Friday and my exhaust arrives too!

Lovely..

Thanks!

Install scheduled for Monday for Akrapovic Evolution & my LMs will go back on as they're finished refinishing!

Will need to get a new alignment after, as I'll have to change the camber in the rear, and I adjusted the fronts before.

Looks great Phil. The BBS are gonna look great when they're refinished!

I'm based in HK too if you'd like to get some photos at some point

Really? Sweet! Shooting you a PM! Happy to just hang out!

[becausephilchow]

Car will be ready for pickup today.

Just waiting for an alignment. Reverse mounted the rears also, dialed in some camber, and so far it looks/seems like it fits!



Raising the rear a bit though, with the added camber, it give shte illusion that the rear is now lower than the front.
