Another update today, got tires, car is painted (still drying), and got lug nuts. Pics later when photo-bucket decides to work. Also waiting on front bumper still and Supra TT suspension.

Here are pics...
Pics were taken outside of booth, so that's why they are kind of fuzzy.
New God Speed Lugs....
And new tires! They are Achilles ATR Sport tires. I've read good reviews and messaged a couple of people with lots of miles on their sets, and all good reviews, so I figured for $420 shipped to my house, that it was a great deal! I got 235/40R18 for fronts, and 245/40R18 for the rears! Should be getting mounted on Saturday or earlier. I'm still waiting on bumper and suspension as previously stated, but it is all coming together!

Nice and shiny/clean looks terrific with the new paint. As far as your tires Consumer Report gives the V speed rating average to below average wear. The tread wear is not very reliable. I went with a H speed rating, with my last purchase of tires for longer tread wear.

More pics! I went to get the front bumper today, but no! The lady decided to close 10 minutes early, so I did not get the bumper today.... AHHHHH! I will get it tomorrow.

Got rubber on wheels today, but there was one minor mistake....
They got mounted to the car I took them in as well by accident..... I didn't know they fit a Buick.... Haha
235/40R18 on 18x9....
245/40R18 on 18x9....
I think they look pretty good. I'm pleased...
