Default New RIMs .... whatcha think

New Rims put on today..... 18 x 8.5 all around...... Tires 225x40x18's front 255x35x18's rear
Total cost rims and tires: 850.00 Not bad i dont think
The rears hit the calipers a little so i had to trim the edge of the caliper slightly on rears. But the new tires r soooooooooooooo much quiter then the stock ones they are LOUD

The wheels look great! I really like them staggered!
Someone said months ago that larger wheels really accentuate the gap.
Never noticed it until now. You need to drop that bad boy!

I agree, they look nice. Also agree that a slight lowering of the car will make it loook even better. Anyway, congrats on the new wheels and tires.

Sweet deal!
Eventually I'll be going up to 18x8.5's also, so I can't wait to see how the drop will look.
Go drive, and get those 1000 miles already!
