Default New wheels are on!!!!!!

I just mount my new Iforged Daytona's in Hyper Gunmetal the wheels are 18x9.5 F & 19x11 R and the tires are BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 with 265/35ZR-18 on the fronts and 295/35ZR-19 on the rears.

The pics are not that good since it is getting dark and the car is dirty, it rained yesterday morning.

I will try to get better pics tomorrow after I wash the car when I get home from work.

Here are a few teasers.

One pic is with the flash and one without the flash.
