Default got some new wheels *PICS* 56k watch it!

well my fisheye came in today and i was using it a little bit and i also got my new rims that will be on the car for a little bit till i can afford my new ones.
18x8.5 front +35
18.9.5 rear +35
sportmax 502's

kumho ecsta SPT 225/40/18 front
kumho ecsta SPT 245/40/18 rear

let me know what you think



also i have -4 camber in the rear because i need to roll my fenders. once i roll them i can drop the car more then add less camber.

Looks good to me. Nice, clean 5-spoke design with a nice lip. Spokes look a little deep dish, too, especially in the rear, which looks nice. The wheels don't look ghetto either like some chrome wheels. Love the coilovers, too.

It's funny beacause from the low close shots I was thinking bah, should have gone bigger, too much rubber. But, as soon as you got the side shots, it's really a beautiful car and the rims are what makes that happen. Well done sir I'm sure she turns heads rolling down the street

I actually unexpectedly like those wheels. I would have gone 265/40/18 in rear and 235/45/18 in the front using the Kumho Ecsta MX.

I'm actually ordering those tires tomorrow.
