Default Kinesis K58s installed
I've been holding out on rims for a long time waiting for the right setup and a good deal. Well, I finally made the move. Here are some pics of my new combo:

Front: 18X9.5 ... 265/35/18 Bridgestone
Rear: 18X10.5 .. 295/35/18 S02s







I've only gone for one drive so far but I can already tell that this combo puts my old setup to shame, stock 99 rims w/ Nitto 555s. Overall grip is MUCH better whether cornering or draggin'. Also noticed much lighter steering w/ better response. :D

:cheers:

Thanks guys...I am very much in biggrinmode right now...haven't felt this pumped about her in a while. In fact, the rims have been sitting in my house for a month as I got the cash together for the tires :crazy:

Dave- nope, I haven't washed her in a couple weeks :lol: ...that's next after this storm system moves out at least :D

:cool:

Look great Jason. I was worried after your earlier post - thought we were going to have to put you on "suicide watch".

Thanks Jim. Yeah, I was getting cabin fever BAD! :lol: ...a Vette apart on jack stands waiting for parts and a blown head gasket in my daily will do that especially since I hadn't left the house in 12 hours :eek:

c5chris- green is good :D ...thanks
