There're the Superfast from Barracuda in Hyper-Black-Silver.

 

and a detail of those 'invisible' valves

 

for the rear, 9.5x18 with Potenza S-03 245/45/18

 

and for the front, 8.5x18 with Potenza S-03 225/45/18 (as stock)

 

very nice... what did those rims set you back?

 

Yes...I'd be interested to know how much those were...

 

do you still have the tire pressure sensors?

 

..........and how do you fill them up? I take it there is a special adapter or something.

 

hi JasonHamilton,

Sorry for my english, but what do you mean by "set you back" ?

 

We don't have this option in Europe :o

 

how many rubles...marks...euros...denaros...dollars? :D

 

Ok, I try to translate the french text for you :

"The hidden valve improves obviously the general impression and the design of the beautiful light metal rims. Thanks to its special construction, the valve is protected from the theft, the rim is easier to clean and a loss of pressure by sabotage is avoided. The hidden valve is placed in the hole of the normal valve and does not exceed the surface of the rim. The top of the valve in design "screw" is hardly noticed and it is taken for a component of the rim. To modify the pressure of air, you just release the screw of cover and then screws the provided adapter. Then, you can add or remove air as with a normal valve."

Hopping this explanation is clear enough

 

Ok, I get it

That costed me, all together (rims + tyres + valves + azote + mounting - discount ) CHF 2'900.- corresponding to USD 2'240.00

More precisely,
the 2 front rims : ~ USD 540.00
the 2 rear rims : ~ USD 572.00

 

Sweet rims man! Could you not have fitted 245/45/18s in front as well? Or did you just want it to be 225 front and 245 rear?

 

Cosmos,

Could you take a few pictures from more of an angle so we can get a better look at the awesome lip on those wheels?

Thanx

 

It is possible to have 245/45/18 (with the 9.5x18 rim) in front as well, but I prefered to keep the stock size.

 

I'll try to take more shoots tomorow (if I found some time left )

 

are you using coilovers
the front is low
nice looking 8

 

No, I just used lower springs from H&R and the car is lowered 45 mm (front and rear)

 

Sanguine_Dark,

As asking, I took some more pictures. Enjoy!

 

.

 

pretty nice rims. At first i didnt really find them attractive, but the more i look at them the better they look...

 

congrats
they look so nice

 

Ditto

 

I did add this 2 pictures as well, but it seems they disappeared
