Finally got my 18 inch wheels on and snapped a pic this morning.

 

Can see pic. Damnit!

 

Fixed?

 

they look awesome

 

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 .

 

They look alright. Not the best, but then again, it's not the worst. How much did u pay for them?

 

I got them at wholesale price through a car dealer i often do work for. 225 40 18 front , 235 40 18 rear , mounted balanced and shipped for $850

 

looks ok in the pic. i personally would have gotten wider rims and tires, but its up to you.

 

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.

 

I'd rather have stock rims.

 

stock rims??? kidding me??? keep those, they look good and im sure they help for gripping the road.

 

Agreed, those look cheap and bulky.

 

no, I'm not kidding you.

 

Hehe , I like em , I think it makes the car look better than the stock wheels , but thats a matter of personal taste , some like em some dont.

 

That I'd have to disagree with..

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.

 

Oops.. I wasn't flaming him; just responding to the "help for gripping the road" comment..

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

 

I like the bright contrast with your dark car.

 

I agree.

 

i'll give you an A for effort.

 

Rims are nice and you got a good price. Would have been nicer with some 275's in the back.

 

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.

 

You already got my comments in the other thread....

 

i wonder how much those slow thow the car down. They look good on the car, but a wider and lighter rim would have been more suited for an FD.

 

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.
