New Fikse Wheels
Finally, had my new wheels installed after much debate and research. I really like the end result but quickly realized the need to lower the rear end to match the front wheel gap - mod fever is no joke. Also, I'd like to thank Z06-JIM who's fantastic ride was no doubt the inspiration behind the wheel selection. Included below are all the details.
Wheels:
Fikse Profil 10
(f) 18 x 9.5
(r) 19 x 10.5
Tires:
Michelin PS2
(f) 265/35/18
(r) 295/30/19
