New Rims and Tires

Well after my nightmare in the fall with the local tire dealer scratching all 5 of my rims (yes even the spare) during a tire install. I broke down and purchased some new rims today. I was never happy with the 17" stock rims so having them scratch my rims gave me the necessary push and cash.

MSR 45 Hyper Silver
18x8

Toyo Proxes-4
245/45 ZR18

You should drop your car a little.

Thanks Guys! The one picture makes them look a littler darker then in person.

Stclairwest - I hear you but it is not going to happen. Stock suspension is the way this ride will stay.

I made the idiot Infiniti dealership out here refinish my front 2 wheels, they took the finish right off on a tire machine. They really didn't have much choice though, I just bought the car a week before.
