New wheels=fresh pix

I just mounted my new wheels and tires this last weekend. I also just moved to Coronado, CA where the weather has been spectacular. Thanks TomZwheels for the great buy on the new shoes.

The wheels are Fikse Profil 10s, 18x9s up front and 19x10.5s in the rear. The tires are Vredestien 265/40/18s and 295/30/19s respectively.

Nice Pix!

Pix of your car would also look great in front of Hotel Del and on Glorietta Bay with a view of downtown San Diego as the back drop.

Great looking wheels, but why the step down in wheel width up front from a 9.5 to 9?

I would rather have the 9.5 fronts, but, I got such an awesome deal on these wheels I could not say no. I purchased the wheels new and it was the only size they actually had at the shop.

Thanks everyone!

I will have to work on getting some of the other backgrounds around here. Since summer is starting it is pretty crowded and hard to get pictures without people getting in the way.

I know what you mean, it's tough living in America's finest city.
