Default An interesting look

Borrowed wheels from a friend for a test fit. Wanted to see what an18x9.5 +12 would look like. Tires are 225/40/18

Well good thing the tires are mounted right...NOT
In the one picture of what I believe to be the rear tire, it says "Mount this side IN" good thing they followed the instructions :/

Hey. Yea at first i was like wow, its quite attention grabbing. I kind of like it.

Yea the tires are already destroyed. They only lasted him a few runs I think. So it didn't matter how they were mounted.

I seem to have completely forgotten my opinion on the wheels in my first post, because I'm an idiot like that, but I actually really like the way they look, maybe not the best color combo but I respect different tastes.

As for shredded, look closely they already are, and my only reason on pointing out the improper mount job is because that warning usually means they're directional tread tires, so when mounted backwards the water sipes have no effect and it makes it very easy to hydroplane and wreck your car. I'm just looking out for the best interest of a fellow SC owner.

offsets in the rear are spot on, IMO
fronts are a little too much poke...
good for reference, ...but that's about it... LOL
