My new SS/SC Wheels!!!!

All blacked out! There not on the car yet becuase it was cold today and I got them late plus I put on a nice coat of wax. Tomorrow I may put them on but I am not sure yet. Ive asked in a thread in the past if poeple would like these and I got a ton of no's but I bought them anways becuase I like em. I think there going to look smoking on my black ss/sc. I did however order 225/45/18s so there seems to be much more rubber. Ive seen alot of people shooting for 225/40/18 but I think ill be good with the ones I chose.


Enjoy till more arrives!!!

Nice...looking forward to seeing them on the car. Are you going to lower it too?


You've got the right idea: its YOUR car. Who gives if some people don't like 'em. You like em, thats what matters.

Yea I'm one of the one's who really doesnt like the black with chrome lip thing.... But they look clean and you like them so thats all that matters. I don't care what people think, I buy what I like, fu** everyone else.... Thats it, I'm buying some v-tec stickers...... I just want to be able to scream v-tec while I drive... Hells yea!!

I dont think im going to lower it. I love the way it rides right now. Ive lowered all my last cars and with the way the area is around here I HATE IT. So im sticking to stock right now. Well see how it does with the new rims and tires


Hopefully the 225/45s arent to big

You could always go with prolines....I haven't noticed all that much of a ride difference. I did notice a pretty nice boost to handling..

Rims look pretty sweet, can't wait to get my 18's on my balt

I'm blaming it on the fact that I had PRK a week ago and my vision is still blurry
I think they'll look great. Can't wait to see the pics after you install them.

225/45/18 is one of the best fits only 1.3 % bigger than stock. 225/40/18 are 2.1 % smaller than stock. I think bigger is better, the wheels look great BTW.
