Default New Angry Shoes & Skates (Miro 111 & RA1)

Thanks to Penz's info & DMs I was able to snag some Miro's for less than $750. I was back and forth between the Miro 112 & 111, ended up going with the 111 (plus hub/centric rings).

Size are 18x9.5 all around. Got a set of Toyo RA1 tires from Doc @ TireRack (he was great to work with), all tires are size 275x35x18. I have been very impressed with how well these tires stick in the corners.

I plan to put a light coat of clear shade paint (can't remember the name of it--have some on the truck that has worked great for years) on it to make the wheels look just a little darker like a light gun metal gray because I can't leave stuff alone. It will basically look the same but just a small shade darker. The front wheel is actually dirty from breaking in some Hawk DTC-30s and that's about the color I am going for. I don't have the caps on in the pic as you can see as the pic was taken right before track day.

So far I have really liked this combo, sits pretty good on Strano springs too. Much thanks to everyone's helpful posts and DMs to me!

Another pic showing how much they stick out. The offset is +40mm.

Last pic with a little smoke from a burn pile next to us. Thought it made the car look even more "Angry".

Thanks guys hopefully the wheels will turn out even better after they are shaded. Here is a pic I photoshopped that hopefully will be close to the end result.

Ready for the road course with those tires and brakes. Looks great and I love the tire selection in that size. Good choice.

Here they are clean and in a little better light. I will paint (light coat) them with Duplicolor shadow chrome black out paint. Hopefully will post the end result soon.

P.S. The front tires (by tread) were on the wrong side. I switched them after the pic.
