Very nice rims. They are going to look awesome. I would buy those. They just look heavy. I can not wait to see the results!

A-Town - in those pics no... but yes i do have them in the trunk

1gmfanatik - I used H&R Springs for the drop... tires are 235/40/18 and rims are 18X7.5 Only thing i would change is an 8" tire if possible (but the nittos are doing great with the 7.5) and maybe maybe maybe a 35 sidewall vs the 40... but it would mess up the speedo alot more and give me more gap but the wheels themselves might "look" bigger

ReggaeRampage - Discount tire... if you get their credit card you can get intrest free on anything (depends on price this is a rough estimate of it but mine was 500+ so 12m 200-500 is 6m and 20-200 is 90day) Only catch is you have to be realy good with bills... pay ontime everytime and pay off by the promo end date... if not your fucked
