I bought a wheel and tire kit from a guy named Tim on ebay who works at a car garage. He went above and beyond, providing quick shipment and excellent customer service (check him out if you are looking for a wheel/tire package). I've been looking forever for the perfect wheels: a cool config of gunmetal spokes with a silver rim. When I saw his auction, I knew I had found them.

After talking with him over the phone, I got an excellent quote of $849 for 18" Luff S2 wheels (a new brand I believe based around LA), and Nankang NS2 tires, mounted, balanced and shipped (plus extras)! To my surprise, he included (2) 5mm spacers for the rear (yes I know OTG has specially made ones but I don't want to drop $70 on shims yet). It also came with specially keyed lug nuts and the adapter.

I plan to get a Progress sway bar in addition to the Megan strut bar I just got and need to install. I'll either go with Progress 2.0" lowering springs or the popular Tanabe DF210's. Any comments or suggestions are appriciated. I've only seen a few pics of these rims anywhere on the internet so you're the first to enjoy!

The TCM xB is Andy's, a friend from SL as well.













I'll post a few better pics later when I get the chance.

Nice wheels. All you need now is a drop.

Hehe, ya, I know thats all I'm going to hear now. "Drop it, woooo!"

If anyone has any feedback on the DF210's with similar wheels/tires, or even the Progress 2.0" drop kit, I'd love to hear it!

Just lowered the wife's xB on DF210s last Friday. The ride is excellent even with stock shocks and struts. She said the only time she feels the difference in the springs is when she rolls over a speed bump. Her car is also sitting on 215/35/18 tires.

I'd go with the DF210's. Hands down.

yea IVE HAD THE DF210S FOR 4 WEEKS...........oops sorry but the caps........
The ride is good..........Im on stock shocks and I can barely tell the diiference even with 215/35/18s....................
I would say Tanabe all the way..........
I recently got the dc sport strut bar and the front of the car feels alot better on the turns now......ppl dont think so but I do alot of driving and u can feel a difference........
Threw that in just in case u were looking for something to buy after the springs

Ya, I used to think there was no way a strut or sway bar could make a difference. I can't wait to install my strut and sway bar.

pretty nice rims
lookin good

Yep, this is his ebay store. If you find something you like, give them a call and ask for Tim. tell him the auction Tnumber and he can work out a package deal for you.

You could tell him Bryan (who bought the Luff 18" package) sent you. I don't think he will give you a better price because of it, but will let him know that I refered him.
