My new rims are FINALY on!

Well it took a week longer then it should have due to shipping problms but they finaly made it here!!!! I got them from GRAVANA shipped for $1300.00, they come with hardware so no need to spend MORE money. The tires are Falken 512's and WoW is all I can say! They grip the road like they were Velcro and the ride is as smooth as glass, waaaaaaaay better then the stock P6 Pirelli's ever were! And quiet as a mouse fart! Got them from Discount Tire Express shipped for only $430. and change!

Wheels are TSW Nogaro's in 18x8 with a 40mm offset.
Tires are falken 512's in 245/40 18
And no the tires DO NOT rub anything! Even dropped on Sportlines!

Well here's some pics lemme know what you all think AND if you think I have a shot at car of the month. Or should I wait till after the tinting is done? Anyways enjoy!

I think it looks great, I'd have to go with the wait till the tint is done.


Just my suggestion, replace the colored mirror caps, either with the natural plastic ones from an LS or the body colored black ones. $35 bucks at the dealer.
I think it would make the mirror sitck out less and blend into the tinted window better.

Looking sharp Terry, I like. Not bad for an old fart sedan... lol. Get that baby tinted and you are good to go.

I say enter for Car of the Month anyway, whats the worst that can happen? you lose and enter again next month!

Thanks guys. The tire's are actualy the closest size I could get to the factory diameter so it wouldn't throw the speedometer off any. Also my ride quality is stock! I honestly don't know why anyone would want a smaller diameter tire then the stock size as it puts you out of warrenty faster and the ride blows.

Thanks guys repped back if it'll let me.

Next mods include TINT! , Billet grills, CA header, GMPP touring cat back, cross drilled rotors with EBC pads, and then I'm not sure. Any suggestions? They're all welcomed.

Sorry guys but I've "given out too much rep in 24 hours, try again later" so I'll hit the rest of you tomorrow if it'll let me.
