They sent me the wrong lugnuts and no center caps. Give me a few more days for better pics.

Terribly sorry, I missed your post until now.

I have never cared enough to post a demand of pictures, but I have to say, you sold your old wheels and have "pictures" of your new wheels, but I want to see them.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Well, I am out of town 'till this Sunday, but here are a couple of quick snapshots I took last time I was home for just a couple of hours. I have not even lowered the car and taken out of the garage yet. The pics don't really show what they look like on the car, so I'll get her out and snap some more this weekend.





These are Enkei RPF1 18x8 in the front 18x10.5 in the rear w/ BFGoodrich KDW 225/40-18 and 295/35-18 respectively.
They are incredibly light and strong. I weighed them before installation and, even with the tires, the rears weigh 51 lbs and the fronts 41 lbs. For perspective my smaller diameter 17x7.5 wheels and tires I had before weighed three pounds less (48 lbs) than my new rear 18x10.5. So I went up one inch in diameter and three inches in width and gained only three pounds. I lost seven pounds in the front for a Total weight savings of eight pounds...with bigger tires!!!

BTW, My old wheels went to a good home:

Those look great! I can't wait to see what it looks like a couple steps back with them on the ground

Pics as promised:










And the Ebony and Ivory shot (gotta keep the wife happy):




I really love these wheels and tires. Traction is phenomenal. This setup will lay waste to my old WS6 Firebird or Porsche 951.
