eeeh..I don't think they are the best looking wheels out there, but they do serve their purpose. Tell her if they are ugly, then she can buy you some nice 16x8-8.5" wide Kosei's, Volks, Works, etc. I am sure she'd shut it then. :D

That's actually only about 8" of contact patch ;) Nice setup, but I've never really cared for the way FD wheels look.

Yes they are.


I hope you get traction with those. I had them on my car when I was FWD for a while and they sucked bad. No traction till at least 3rd gear.

Haha very true! Well I work at Tires Plus and these tires have the softest sidewalls for a performance tire. (That we carry.) All the others are stiff for cornering. They have a AA traction rating too. Either way I'll get more traction then I had before with low profile tires and 18" rims.

Update time.. Since I had the day off I installed the other 2 tires. Then I took them home and prepped the rims for paint. Ideally I would have painted the rims with the tires off but I can't have my car on jackstands taking up space. I ended up doing 3 coats of semi-gloss black and 2 coats of clear. They turned out pretty nice. While I was waiting for the paint to dry, I installed my fuse box and wired up my fans. I wired my fans up like stock for now. If that doesn't do the trick I'll add a switch later. I also took a hammer to the spring perch. Now I have 1/4" of clearance. :)

Here are a couple pics I took before I painted the rims.
