^ The tires only have about 2k mi. on them, and I didn't know I was gonna be buying wheels ha. With my 18x9 wheels I had to buy two brand new tires, so I went with 245/40/18s. It gives it a beefy looking stance out back. And in case anyone was wondering the tires are Cooper Zeon RS3-A all performance tires. Work well in all sorts of weather, and have a sporty looking profile. I recommend these if your looking for some good tires.

wheels don't look too bad, i guess nobody else saw the BBS center caps thou or really cared that they're on reps...

and regardless of reps or not i know they weren't exactly "cheap" so why go with Megan Racing springs over any other brand?

My friend is running the exact same springs on his SS/TC, looks good and rides well. Also weren't that expensive, so it was a no brainer for me. 2" drop is the most i could find for springs too.

well i know they're not that expensive buy you're the first person i've ever heard say they ride well... but then again i don't complain about the ride being on Megan Racing coils and most people do and you can get CM/SSC for like $180 shipped and they lower almost that but ride close to stock.

I love those wheels. I wish I could find a nice simple 5 spoke wheel for easy cleaning, but those Reps look great! Are they available anywhere?

EDIT: what is the wheel/tire size? Looks wider in rear and tire choice looks spot on.

That's what I'm worried about running a staggered setup, especially a dual staggered.

And you would of thought Chevy would of had half a brain after making a FWD supercharged car to change it to either an RWD or AWD turbo...but i guess not.

Yeah none of us would have bought it because it would have been a 35K car.
