^^^ thanks rissa.... I was starting to get amazed that I had NO comments... good or bad. I was between these and Konig Unknowns... but unknowns are already every where and these only cost me about 180 more than the unknowns would have

Why you say that? the rolling circumference between 205/50/16 and 225/40/18 is like 2% so its miniscule.

any 18's on a base model look rediculous if not dropped. Drop first, rims second...that should be a law.

meh...more fake rivots, the name of the wheel on the outer lip, a bolt hole cover thing and a chrome/polished piece on the front (that would be 10x better if it wasn't there)...i'll have to wait till they're mounted I guess, but even still meh...

its over an inch on base models. put me next to a stock base and tell me its not dropped. Not to mention I can't go much lower cuz new england roads suck.... hence why I am having to buy new wheels. my old ones got fucked by the roads.

Plus I already scrape the front of my car on my driveway if I go down faster than 3mph
