Got the front set today, they had to ship from two different warehouses. Ordered them from Tirerack. Problem is with the rears, one tire shows it arrived in denver, the other one says "billing information received". WTF! I want to have these wheels on for the show this weekend. {crossing fingers} that they will get here in time, hopefully it's just a mixup and lame a$$ UPS (which SUCKS!) just didn't scan the second package.

Anyway here are some pics.

 

sweet the fronts look like they fit perfectly.

 

They come with center caps also. I just haven't put them on yet.

 

Those look really smooth Simon!

 

Very nice!

 

Really nice, is that a gunmetal finish?

 

Eighteens? TASTY!!! What brand tires are those, and what size for the front and rears?

 

I had to go the cheap route and get Kumho 712's. Front are 225/40/18 and rears are 255/35/18. They fit but my alignment needs a little tweeking. Looks like I will pay Tobi a visit tomorrow.

 

FWIW I have the 712's on my car (drive set) and they are really nice for general driving. Not S02's by any means (but only slightly less traction than my KDW's) and they seriously rock in the rain!

For the price I don't think the 712's can be beat and most drivers will never reach their limit. Kwando probably will be complaining about reaching their limit tomorrow

Oh, since this tread is really about the rims; NICE

 

Well I have a little rubbing on large dips in the road. But then again, it's prob my big butt in the driver seat. I'm running 255/35 now, might go with 245/40 or 245/35. I pinpointed it down to where it's rubbing. Hopefully I can work something out.
