With 245/40R18 (and a real camera):


More to come... Car was dirty in the last pic... but I just got the tires and the camera and wanted to show them both off... picture came out a bit funky since I don't have a tripod... anyway car is going into the dealer to get the foamy dipstick fixed as well as an issue with my cruise control... I will be sure to take pics of the loaner I receive.

3/18/08: A few pics from a shoot I did with my best friend Daniel and his Evo9.

Im glad you got wider tires i dont know why people get a huge width on a wheel and get the smallest tires you can on them. Nice car just need to take some better pics =]

 

do you know if your rims come in 19's?

 

For looks, mostly... however I got bored of it quickly... I would've gone even wider (we had a set of 265/35R18 Z1's we were clearancing) but I'm kinda glad I didn't as the 245's rub on stock fenders in the rear (gonna roll ASAP).

And as for the wheels... look up www.5zigenusa.com

 

i like the concavity on those wheels not having them staggered. i'd like to see some better pics though.

 

More pics added to first post.

 

Looks more like Dr. Pepper!

 

Nice... I'm actually craving a Pibb now. Good wheel choice for that color.

 

beautiful car.

i gave up soda....and i miss it T_T
