I agree.. The 18x10's have a very nice concave look, hard to show it in a pic..

Glad you got them. I ended up just picking up a cheap set of stockers to do me for now...probably sell of my Racestars and end up buying some Weld S77Bs sometime this or next year. They should look awesome!

put the last wheel on and pulled it outside.. Far from done, but I like it much better seeing it outside.. haven't lowered it yet, waiting for some warmer weather.. The rear tires are huge.. I know they are not 315's, but. the tire comparison is my skinny(been running on it for 2 years) and the new front..
