Thanks men for the kind words.... I appreciate the feedback. I cannot stress it enough how the 18's all the way around feel... It's like I need to re learn how to drive the car... The MT's just BITE the road.. the sport cups would spin easily through second, third... Forget 1st... lol.. From the feedback you guys are giving me I feel real good about my purchase... Thank you again.
