New Wheels!! :D

So I got a killer deal on a used set of wheels and tires that actually fits my car.

MSR 105 18" The tires have like 25% left, but still have enough grip to feel the difference. Also the handling feels so much better... The whole ride was imporved.... now I cant wait till I get brand new tires :bigthumpup:




















Opinions???

Those wheels are pimp!! What is the tire size? To keep the overall height the pretty close they should be about 225/35/18 on a 7.5 rim or what? Or did you go with like a 235 or 245/40/18 on about an 8 inch width? Just wondering.

I hate wheels where the spokes bend inward at the ends. Sorry, not a fan.

I agree with you... but in order to have some lip with the car's offset is the only way to do it.... you know... since the rear wheels are behind the fender almost all the time. But I wish I could use a differente offset with straight spokes.

And overall when I saw them on the car I deffinetly liked them more

The tires are 225/40/R18 but my car is already lowered and the overall diameter of the tires is smaller than the ones I had, so... this tires are used and im probably going to buy new tires soon, so I want to go at least 235 or 245 if I can make them fit (rolling the fenders) and at least a 45 aspect ratio to fit the fender whell size a bit better.

Thanks for the comments
