ok new thread! Those look awesome... few questions... where did you get them from? Whats the name of that color finish? How do you like those rear tires? Hook up real well for 18's?

I got them from ebay and they are just a gloss black face with a machine polished lip (thinking of having Joshua aka FIREHAWK#608 at Chrome & Performance bring the lip to a high polish), RUFF Racing 278s 18x8.5 up front and 18x9.5 in the rear. I have a cam and a 4000 stall so nothing is going to hook up that well on the street but I was pleasantly surprised at how well they do hook. As long as it's not from a dig or very low speeds I can actually get traction. On street tires I'd be sideways anywhere in first gear but I can punch it at 20mph and actually have the tires hook for the most part so I'm very happy with them.

Yeah Raf, you're telling me. I normally A) dont like black wheels as much as polished, silver, or chrome and B) didnt really like this particular style of wheel either... but I had only saw them in chrome and hyperdark silver. When I saw the black and really took a look at them I thought they might work on my particular car so I made the leap and am now very happy I did.

Thanks for all the compliments fellas. I'm really happy with where the car is headed now.

In the other thread I think you said that the rears were a 45mm offset, I thought that they were 35mm? can you confirm.

Where and how much if you don't mind telling
Thanks

Thanks guys. The more I drive it and look at it the more happy I am I made the decision to go with these.

Zero fitment issues with the wheels at all. Just bolted right on.

No exhaust tips. I run true duals dumped at the rear axle with Moroso Spiral Flow mufflers.
