Default New Wheels and Tires

i decided to upgrade the rims and tires. The originals are pricey and I was able to buy rims and tires for not much more. I went to 18” as there was more available tires. The width is 10.5 so there is a little more meat to grab the road.

Not my cup of tea, but still a nice improvement!

Not a look for everybody but an amazing transformation. It looks like a different car. Nice!

I have to admit it isn't my first choice, but if you're happy with it then more power to you. It definitely is an improvement in the way the car looks.

Went through the same thing last winter. Wanted new tires but mine came with 16" and they're hard to find plus I have the early suspension with 38mm backspacing on the rims. Finally found some 18" rims in the same dimensions and then tires and I'm happy with my upgrade also.

Congrats.

Wow, that's a night and day improvement. What brand wheels are they?
