Do you think I should paint the inside of the rims a gun metal grey color leaving the lips polished? I like that type of look .

I was considering the ADR msport wheels in 18x8 in the front and 18x10 in the rear but i cant find a good deal on them , Ill run these for a while and probably sell them . They fit so many cars its rediculous.

Not much grip going on with those 235s in the rear.. Need some meat back there with such a low profile..
Looks nice though.

Yeah, he took some flames already for not getting wider with 18", but its taste.
Hey, give us a shot in daylight. I can't get a good idea of where the tire ends and the wheelwell begins, because of the light, if you know what I mean.

I agree, a pic with more light would help. I think they look fine.

I will be sure and take a pic when the sun comes out , been miserable all week here so far hopefully tommorrow this rain will quit. It sounds cheasy and you always hear this but it does look better in person , I have gotten a few compliments as well as the usaul "man you need wider tires in the rear " . Im not a street racer (yet) so for now they are doing just fine. I appreciate the constructive criticism (spelling?) , its good to hear everyones veiwpoint thats what makes a great forum.

Some people could care less about how much grip they have. If you don't autocross or act like an idiot on the road, what's the point in having huge rear tires??? They cost more, and you get worse gas mileage.
The rims aren't bad at all.
