Big, big thanks for the support everyone! Just finished test fitting the front and rear wheel and I'm really happy how they look on the car. Finally have some contrast! Just cleaning up and going to upload the pics. Talk soon.
Thanks man, good to hear from you again. Always awaiting updates from yah.
Hey Dave, I saw his post on his blog and they are going to look awesome on his car! The first thing I did when I got home was scan the decals. That's all I'm saying, but you are on the right track 
Thanks again!!!
hahaha pearl the 964 will always be one of my favourite cars...just so happens a certain one is called Stella Artois. Coincidence?!?! 
Too bad Black Edition SLs aren't offered in those offsets lol
Evasive said only 17x9 +45 is available
Love these wheels.
Thanks dude, love seeing updates on your IG.
Thanks pboi, huge, huge fan of your car (I'll let the attach photo do all the talking
)

Nice choice in wheels Vince! I saw that Ken Gushi (Formula D driver) just got a set of Black Editions for his personal FR-S, and they look great! The nice thing is, Rays also offers different color vinyl for the SL's so if you ever want to switch it up you can! Can't wait to see them on the car
Thanks again!!!

**Update Sept 22, 2012**
Had a good friday with good company. Uploaded the test fit pictures and here it is. Thanks again tsukubaSpec.
The lighting of the garage made the lips a lot more noticeable than it actually is, as well as the way the photo was taken. If you look at the photos a page back that's how they look. Finish is machined, not polished/chrome.
How the front will look!
Rear Profile
Clearance between rims + spoon calipers.
Front clearance, trying to decide which tires and settings/work to dial in.
Rear clearance....last two photos show the lip colour better
Next up going to look into sourcing out tires and getting them mounted. I also like the yellow fluorescent accent on the rims, but I feel the car needs some accents elsewhere. Have a few ideas, but don't want it to look too tacky. Less is more in some cases.
Thanks for looking!!
Vinny
BONUS: So we were sizing out tires and I just wanted to share some price info (difference) and why us Canadians shop in America. Here is one good reason and I will use the bridgestone tire, RE11, for arguments sake. 255/35/18 for example.
Price quote in Canada before shipping + taxes = $390ish-4xx per tire (from Canadian supplier)
Price quote in USA (total) = $290 or less (tirerack or discount tire)
Imagine the mark up on car parts and shipping. I'm sure overseas enthusiast have it worse. Happy to be your neighbours
