New wheels finally!
Well I finally bit the bullet and ordered a set of big wheels today. Here is what I went with:
Front:
18" x 10" HRE 545's
Michelin Pilot Sports 275/35/18
Rear:
18" x 12" HRE 545's
Michelin Pilot Sports 335/30/18
With my 2.5" tubs on each side in the rear these tires will go right in without a problem. :cheers:

Way too awesome!!! :cool: :cool: :cool: 545s are my favorite of the HRE wheels, I love them on the LPE cars. Can't wait to see how they look on your car. Be sure to post tons of pics when you put them on. :cheers:

I had planned on doing Fikse FM/5's like my previous car, but too many people have been getting them lately and Nate gave a good deal I couldn't pass on. :cheers:

Re: New wheels finally!
Very Nice!! :D
Glad someone around here still has cash.
;)
545's and FM/5's are my on again off again faves. Mod'ing my stocks HiPols were the closest to a 545 in those sizes for now.
Oh.. What backspacing you going with? I'd be careful what you choose.
7.75" Front & 9 3/8" Rear is safest. Add 1/8" to each if you want to push it, but no more.
What finish did u choose? I like the above pic. It's different than just the HiPolish people normally get.

Damn those are nice. Like my dad always said "if I had your money, I'd burn mine". If I could afford those bad boys, they'd look fine on my car.
Show pics when mounted. :cheers:
