Got My Wheels On...

Well, I got my new wheels on this past weekend. First, I wanted to thank Chico, inTgr8r, big daddy d, wingnut, Skeleton Cru and Simi_G35 for putting up with my questions, I learned a lot. Also wanted to thank Chris at F1motorsports for his help and a good deal

And without further ado...

RH Pro J5 in Machined Silver (changed my mind about the Hiros )
19x8.5 +38
Toyo T1R 245/40/19

Thanks for the comps guys! The wider wheels definately grip the road MUCH better than the stock setup. I am trying to take it easy but I have taken a couple of hard corners and it grips like a mother . The tires are a little noisier than stock but I hope they quiet down in a few hundred miles. I heard the Toyos take about 300-400 miles to wear down. I did reduce the tire pressure from 40(from the shop) to 35psi to help with the noise.

That's true...take it easy for the first 500 miles or so. I almost changed my Toyos for the same reasons but they got better and are perfect now.

BTW, what are you doing taking pics in the middle of the road bro?

Thanks mikeee2! That road is the driveway to my chateau (j/k) No, it is just a road that sees few traffic and is right behind my house. Convenient for pics and I like the mountains in the background.

The spoiler was part of the deal when I purchased the car but it was added about 3 weeks after I got the car. Dealer installed.

As to the 18" wheels they are sitting in my garage. I will probably put them up for sale in about a month, just want to make sure I don't have any problems with the RH before I sell them. Interested ?

There's always an interest if the price is right. But I am looking more for just the rims though. I want to put on all seasons instead of the summer tires that comes with it.

You know...those wheels look kinda like the m45 19inch wheels.

Wow, I never expected those wheels to look so good. I love how the lip starts before the spokes, and the beautiful contrast between the polished lip and silver spokes.

Excellent choice!
