Very expensive pull in the rear. I mean you need to buy wide wheels and fat tires to fill up those fenders.

Lame. 20x9,5" ET40 poke is 80,7mm. I think poke has to be something like 130mm with 18-19" wheels and "zero" camber.

In my opinion, varrstoen makes some good low offset wheels. check them out in the venders section.

Tropical storm Isaac's got most of us here in south FLA indoors. No worries, gives me a little extra time to do an update.
6000K HID lights now installed.

Comparison with halogen lights and HID's.


Full HID lights installed. Sweet!

I am going to look at a set of Vossen wheels this week. If everything goes fine I will be rocking these soon.
