Default Pics of my new wheels

I decided to go with some inexpensive wheels rather than buy new tires for the ugly 16 inch wheels that were on the car. I think they look great, but now I REALLY need a drop. That should happen in a month or so.



Pit bull shown for size comparison




New pics added.







Time to paint some calipers.


Some crazy weather

I like the look of them, love those curved lips, reminds me of my old vsxx. Spacers in the back + a drop = one good looking SC

Thanks. That "thing" is indeed a pitbull. Some do have this reaction when they see one without their ears and tail cut.


The wheels are 18x8 in front and back. The offset is same as stock, I think. And yeah, I will probably look into getting spacers for the rear wheels around the time I get the suspension dialed in. For 1k for this wheel/tire package I'm pretty satisfied. I will post some good closeup pics later.

I do like the look of these wheels. They remind me of the 5Zigen Sport Engine 3000 wheels. I'd throw a spacer in the rear for sure when you drop it. Other than than I give you a thumbs up.
