Thanks man! i really appreciate it. I'm running 315/30/18's out back in the falken azenis rt615-k. And i haven't gotten the front tires yet, but i'll be running a 295/35/18 in the front.

Thanks man, the chrome looks great too, i'm just going for a sinister look.

UPDATEEE.
excuse the incredibly dirty and incomplete car, i've yet to get front tires, but i got the rear azenis mounted balanced, and mocked up on the car for your viewing pleasure.
The whole front of the car is missing along with the entire interior, so ride height should come down quite a bit from this, it's gonna be low!!

Some of these pictures have tire shine, and others do not.
enjoy because this will be pretty much all you'll get until the car's back on all fours.

yeah man, good thing i'm a bitch about tire shine too. I always had to have it even before i got these wheels.

yeah, i will probably get black lugs, these were just the only lugs i had left over from my chrome zr1's, so i mocked them up. the wheels are also missing center caps at the moment.
