Default bought ASA JH8's

I just picked up some JH8's at tirerack for $109 and $119 for 18x8.5 and 18x9.5's. That price is only on the silver finish. Now I'll be ready for a brake swap, sweet!

Not sure about the exact measurement as they haven't arrived yet. The offsets are +38/+45 for front/rear.

Damn, good price and better than the Sportmax! I would just space them out a little.

Yea, I'll space them as needed. I'm going to keep it looking clean and subtle. Here's a picture of the wheels, for those that haven't seen 'em.

They came! Now I'm just waiting for the tires and I'll see how they look on the car. They are simple and clean, just like I wanted. I'm very impressed with the quality too, considering the price.

No stretch for me, not really my style. 275's on the back, 245's in the front. I'm giving Vredestein tires a try, they at least have to be better than my Hankooks, haha.
