1. It was getting dark so i had to brighten up the photos which explains why they're so grainy....when i get some nice daylight shots i'll post em.
2. It needs to be lowered BADLY. It looks like a 4x4 truck as is. UPDATE lowered pic added.
3. I know i still need to change the front lugs

WHEELS are Iforged Astras. 18 x 9.5 and 18x10.5
TIRES are nitto invos. 295-35-18 and 245-40-18

I went from stock rims and crappy *** no name 245 tires that cost 70bucks a piece...to these. The ride is greatly improved.

The nittos have a really firm sidewall, excellent traction, and are very quiet.

UPDATE Kyb AGX shocks and BMR lowering springs installed. appearance greatly improved! The spring/shock combo isn't really what i expected, but is very comfortable. I fully expected the combo to be MUCH stiffer with far more dampening. It turns out that the shocks, on setting 8 which is max dampening, are quite soft. If i did it again i'd probably get bilsteins....BUT i'm satisfied with it. It sticks to the road, stays VERY flat around corners, and is very quiet and comfortable.

I have no idea what the final weight of each wheel+tire is...

i was really impressed.

They're slightly less grabby than a cold(no burnout) 255-50-17 MT street radial.

I was able to chirp em in second but that's it. they're really great.

just fyi, this was on a freshly paved blacktop road

Looks great, but man it needs lowered in now... you said springs are on the way right? lol

Jeff, the fronts are actually 18x9.5 and you should have gone with a 275 wide tire. The car will look great once lowered!

Anyone else need a set? I'm an iForged dealer

So if we go to the track on Sun, you will bolt the Mickeys on the back right?

Maybe you could bring rears by and we could bolt em on the Chevelle rear quick?

rims are gorgeous, congrats man. just curious, why didnt u got with wider tires? i would have gone with a 275 in the front and u can probably fit some 315s on the back.

I did a lot of research and found the exact width that i wanted according to what i think looks best.

It's purely personal oppinion.

I agree with 275 up front (I run 275/35/18 Nitto Invos on my 18x9 fronts), but there just aren't enough options in 315s on an 18" wheel. 295/35/18 looks just about perfect, IMO.

Nice choices, both on wheels and tires.
