Default Finally got my wheels on!!!!!!!!

Well, I've had the wheels for about a month, Ronal R41 18s. I had to save another two weeks to get the tires and then they were on back order until earlier this week. I had them mounted a balanced yesterday and I put them on myself only to take them back and have them re-balanced (I assume a weight fell off but there was definite vibration). Anyway, I'm very pleased with the look. The only thing that sucks is that coilovers got moved up on the priority list (over the K04). I've got to get rid of that fender gap though (thank God I have sport suspension).

The only thing I'm dissapointed with are the tires (BFG G-Force KDW2 225/40R18s). I knew they weren't known for their quite ride but I wasn't expecting them to be as loud as they are. They've actually gotten a little better since yesterday. I guess getting them hot a few times may have helped. They do have good traction though although I don't feel it is any better than my Fuzion ZRi 225/50R16s.

I didn't realize this but Ronal was the manufacturer of my stock wheels. Anyway, tell what you think.

how many miles did you get down on your fuzions, Im currently at about 25k of raging the hell out of them around every corner and I think I can get another 7k to 10K, not bad.

I had around 10k on the Fuzions and they've got so much tread left.
