Default New Wheels

Well my wheels are fianlly on the car. The ones that I originally ordered have a back order of 3 months so here is my 2nd choice. I like these a little more because you can see the reflection of my brake calipers in the lip & they look a little nastier also. Sorry about the poor pic quality. My el cheapo camera finally took a crap-a new camera is on the way .

Night pics do not do the rims justice! Fortunately, there are daytime ones

They look sweet!

Need better, high-res shots from the side (in the daylight)...but they look promising.

The wheels are Fusion Nitro's & they are 20"ers. I'm running 20X8.5 all the way around wrapped in 245/35/20 rubber. They set me back about $1800. Here's a video were I tried to pan around the whole car hope you can get a better guage of the car.

It's no Cadillac ride,but it's by far not the harshest ride of any vehicle I've owned. I myself like to feel & hear things most people don't from their vehicles. I have no complaints.

They should ride just a bit rougher but steering/tracking should improve over the stock rollers.
