I do like the way these wheels look. I just need to find something to do with the center caps! Any ideas? I would like just a flat center cap in black or something!

Ooooooh, papa like! For the money, those wheels really are great. How's the brake clearance in the front? I'm wondering if they'll fit with the new Stoptech kit (though I'll probably go with 17x8 in the front).

Nice pic. What wheel/tire sizes?
Still don't like their center caps. That wheel will look much better without the center caps mounted
I look forward to seeing radkins setup in black 9 x 17, with 255/40-17 Bridgestone S-03s all around! Ryan, don't put those center caps on, ok?!

I know everyone says to go with a 43mm offset....but I like my wheels to sit exactly flush with the fender line and a 35mm offset fit dead on.

radkins just got his mounted. Hyper Black looks silver. Neat finish! I'll let Ryan upload the pics of his car. Fabulous setup in 9 x 17, 43-mm offset with 255/40-17 Bridgestone S-03 Potenzas.

Hyper black looks great! I was sooooo close to getting those for my black car. I'm just to damn conservative in my old age.
Anyway...I put my car on the ground last night with my 17/18 inch setup. I think it looks pretty awesome! I'll snap some pics in a couple of days! (I have to clean the car up since it has 4-5 months of dust build up on it, wouldn't want you guys to laugh at me too much!)

Hey SleepR1... do you have anymore pics of Radkins rims? I PM'd him asking him for different pics but he hasn't gotten back to me.
It's hard to tell from pics but are they a "gunmetalish" color but glossy? In some pics they look gloss black and in others silver.
Also I was thinking about running 255/40 Falkens ZE 502's on them. Have any info (weights?) on these tires. From previous experience, they have awesome grip in the rain but I can't remember how they are when it's dry.

****, just realized that the Falken 512's are discontinued.
Any suggestions for a good street tire, Y or Z rated, and under $120 a piece?
Anybody have an negatives about the Kumho MX's?? At only 25 pounds, they seem to be good tires.
