Fronts are 18 x 8.5 with 2.5" lip 35mm offset. 275/35/18 Nitto 555s
Rears are 18 x 9.5 with a 3.5" lip 45mm offset. 295/35/18 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercars.

They'd cost about a grand for a set. I had a hook up because I work at Discount Tire Co.

BTW...my sig, yea its photoshopped. I don't want my LP in my sig and the rims are HRE's because they look almost indentical and nobody has any pics for my wheels.......till now.

Those are nice wheels, they look similar to the KMC wheels on my Dodge

How come the wait was so long?

They were backordered, had problems, shipped over seas, customs, UPS....ect. Basically everything. I guess if someone ordered a set now...it'd be fairly quick since they shipped a lot of the wheels at once.
