Default Black TT2s with ....pics inside!

I finally got around to mounting these 315/30/18 tires. What a PITA tire to mount on a wheel.....we had to put 80 psi in the tire to get the bead to seat, but it all worked out fine. These stick out a HAIR, but not so much it looks ghetto, I'm actually pleased with it because I was afraid it was gonna look worse. I think this is one step closer to getting the car exactly how I've wanted it. I have my old 295/35/18s at the shop with a little tread left, if anyone wants some tires to play around in or even use at the track at the beach.

Got the car all cleaned up, finally quit being lazy and polish the wheels lips, etc.....heres some pics.

Looks good, but you're going to need mud flaps or something to keep rocks and road spray from destroying your rear quarters, unless this is a trailer queen.

Yea, my 295s actually slung up a good bit, but with my car being silver its not very noticable. The only parts beat up and the lower area underneath the rear quarters. Hopefully it'll stay that way.

When I measured these tires and saw they were an inch wider than my 295s (which were already flush with the fender) I was a bit worried, but I think it is right on the edge of sticking out too far, and looking just right, I got lucky!

PM returned. These are Hankook RS2 tires for anyone else that wanted to know. $75 a piece from Cali...some of you may remember those cheap tires being sold on here a motnh or so back.....thses are the tires. UNfortunately they are all sold now.

I have no clue about retail price of 18 inch TT2s....I know they have to be custom ordered, bc they only stock 17s. The guy I bought them from, got them from NineBall on here...maybe he can chime in and say how much they orginally cost.

20%...and it's "legal" bc I have the sticker on the tint that says it...haha. I did have 5%, but was pulled over for it and forced to remove it.

Thanks bud...I got the GMP emblem off of ebay a few years back. I actually snagged 3 of them for like $20. I painted the whole emblem black, and then sanded the top part back down so the lettering stayed black....makes it easy to read and looks better. A quick ebay search found these....
