so I recently got a good deal on my 99 ws6 with low miles. but it had been in less than the best hands before I got it. plastic fender and hood vents had been painted bright yellow, ugly rims and the exhaust tips had been cut off at the muffler(it is atleast a magnaflow muffler). so I had a nice little paycheck this past week from working an assload of overtime so i decided to remedy all these problems. first the vents were painted graphite metallic gray. just a subtle contrast. doesn't stand out but doesn't blend in like the factory black. next I got a set of tips and replacement tailpipes. then the boggest and most noticable upgrade, wheels. I picked up this set of TSW Thruxtons in hyper black with polished lip with bridgestone potenza tires all around for $375. and they are staggered. 18x8 fronts with 225/40/18's and rears are 18x10.5 with some slightly stretched 265/35/18's. rears ar a little worn anyways so I'm probably going to throw on a set of 295's soon. anyways, hope you guys like it as much as I do. I am very happy with how it has turned out and it such a huge improvement over how I bought it.

not really big fan of the rims. kinda to "tuner" look and open. but if you like it thats all that matters. other thank that not bad.

I would have preffered a thicker spoke also, but compared to what I had, the size and price of the wheels, I am very happy with them. I was looking to go with something that was a black mesh style with a polished lip, but these will do

thanks guys. and yeah I am already looking for wider/larger diameter tires for the rears. a local member has some 295/40's I am seriously considering. and as for the fronts, I know they are narrow, but doesn't bother me. I'm a go fast in a straight line guy. corners, not so much. and yes a drop is being considered as well. I think 1" with these wheels and the ire size stated above will set the stance that I am after

Absolutely nothing wrong with running skinnier tires/wheels up front.

TSW wheels aren't exactly cheap if I recall correctly, so that seems like a pretty good deal.
