my new rims/ tires installed pics!

These are my new rims/ tires.....18x7.5 enkei ls5 rims w/ nankang tires......i had ordered some other msr wheels that look similar to my sig's rims but they were out of stock so I got these swapped out for them.......They look great but I have to get my K-Sport Coilovers on the car and drop it more........








LMAO, sorry about being in every photo looking like a scrub too......lol

5x110...w/ a high 30's low 40's offset......basically saab 9-3's, cadillac catera's, pontiac g5 and g6 are the only cars to run this lug pattern.....sky's and solstice's run that pattern too but the offset is alot higher like +55.....
