Here are some non polished/chrome one that are on my car..



sorry for the poor quality.

You put 315's on the rear?!?! I went to a tire shop and they told me 275 was the biggest I could go.

What kind of tire did you get? It's probably stretching it to fit right? Like what Scott said...

It looks awesome though with the 315's...I just got myself a set of TT rims too!

nice setup. i personally have 255's in the back and front. (they came with the rims and there is no rubbing the front)

I was told that 255's on the rims are the best unless you have forced induction. ive also heard that it can actually be bad because of too much traction and you lose gas mileage because the car slows down faster when your coasting because of all the traction.

But even with that posted, i still like how wide the tires are maybe when i get turbo ill have a setup like that. but personally on an NA car those might be too big (is that possible??)

Here ya go Aliga. I think this is/was directql's or quickturbo's car. Can't remember for sure though.

I got the chrome, no regrets. The chrome seems to have more depth to it and also I would say the polished could get scratched up and dull looking more easily.

I like how the center caps on the chrome wheels more equally matches the spokes, as opposed to alot of the polished wheels where there is a noticable difference.

well, that should be an awesome victory.
Planning on joining the registry of quad-digit hp guys, or just upper hundreds?

good luck in whatever you do
