Replacing the LE Wheel's
 

As you all know the 35th's came with there own wheel. It was time to replace my tires so thought why not try and find a replacement wheel but not lose the LE look completely. I wanted an 18" wheel for a future larger brake package and a good deep lip, so this is what I came up with:

TSW Cadwell 18x9.5 rear....18x9 in front, wrapped in Nitto NT05's

First a couple of wheel pics...

Thanks for lookin:chug:

My buddy went with machined face new style zr-1s to keep the theme going on his LE

Looks good, but I prefer the 10 spoke's...

Not a bad idea...got any pics of it?

I think the wheels I have on my car now would look good/keep the LE theme too.

They OEWheels C5 DD Machined face w/ the black vents in 18X9.5/18X10.5.

Thanks...I'll tell you what, these NT05's grip hard in the corners, too.

Why Yes I do! :D

The wheels look great on your 35th. Where in so cal are you at?

Thanks....I'm in north county San Diego.

We've got a Car Show this weekend in the I.E. area, you should come out. It's a free show with trophys and Hooters girls.
Check out the sig for the link to the website or the Western sSction for the SoCalmuscle Hooters car show for details.

I've seen these on GTOs in both 18" and 19" and always liked them. They look really good on your car, nice choice.

Thanks Brett, wanted to do somethin a little diff + keep the LE going.

Cool part is I did all my fitment research right here, some very good info in the stickys.
