New Shoes!@!

Just posting pix of my new shoes:

BBS CH
18x8 +38 All Round
Running Pirelli Snow Tires 245/40/18 and causing some rubbing issues in the front.

I know it is not as bling as Cathafer's but I'm trying.

Lookin' good man. Why is it rubbing with 18's? Is the offset incorrect?

Fronts are +38 with 245 tires, I've been searching and everyone with 2IS has 235 in the front. So I guess the tires are a little too fat. But I will be getting rid of these tires soon since they are snow tires, don't think I will need snow tires in NYC and I don't take the car out when it snows.

Hey, you need to update your sig now

Snow tires in NYC arent really needed I think. Farther up in NY and i could see you needing them. A good set of all seasons will go along way. I had a set of michelins on my 911. They worked well in 8"+ of snow, i didnt hydroplane at 120mph in the driving rain...so they must have been good in the wet, and at speeds over that in the dry they were awesome.

Sometimes even the cleanest of looks can have the most "bling" effect. Car is looking great. Nice choice!!!

BTW!!! trying to keep up with Cathy is a very hard job indeed, especially since she keeps raising the bar upon which all others are to be judged, LOL!!!! Just do your thing, and create your vision,, all good things come with time. Some a little faster than othere; (cough,,cough,,,,Cathafer!!!!,,hack,,hack,,wheez)

Hey man to each their own and theirs more than one way to skin a cat!! The car looks really clean and simple, and the tint adds a nice effect.

No way am I saying negative things about Cathafer. I am just envious of her ride and it's hard for me to catch up to her level. That's it.

I love the wheels. Very agressive looking, yet still very luxurious.

Well done.
