Sorry for crappy cell phone pictures. But I can't wait to put on my black motorsports hopefully this weekend. I went with 18's all around for price and tire selection. I'm awaiting my longer rear bolts to drop the car, because i refuse to put the wheels on at stock height.

They look very nice. Where did you buy them from and what size tires are you going to use?

TomZwheels. AMAZING service. I ordered them last tuesday night, checked UPS tracking. "Expected arrival date, Tuesday January 9th". But i came home for lunch on friday, and low and behold a pleasant surprise! They were there!

I believe i'm using 275/40's and 395/30's. i haven't made a final decision on tires yet

THAT is a very big front tire.

You MAY have issues. Hopefully not.
