Yeah, It's not for everyone.

Awesome man. I'm not into verts, but the car looks pretty darn good.
5th gen verts >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> hard tops. Probably the only way I'd get a 5th gen (granted I wasn't passing up on a good deal).

Wheels look a little small but if it performs better then why not..i think its just bc im used to seeing these with 20's..maybe a 27 inch tire will help fill th wheel wells but whatever as long as it hooks up f it.

Car feels so much lighter and nimble with these wheels.

I know it looks a little goofy, but I'd rather go fast.

I bought these tires just to see how they would look. They are a little shorter than I would like at 26" tall. My last tires 295/40 18 were a better height at 27.2" but they were too narrow.

Wow, that would have put my car at a 12.1-12.0 with just the wheel swap. I thought about getting 18" F14's but ultimately decided to go with a car that didn't weigh as much as an SUV.

Tell me about it, my car stock with me in it was 4,330 lbs. What's funny is out of my two vehicles I race this is the light one. My turbo ESV is 6,200 lbs, LOL.

Looks sweet! I have those same tires in 295/35/18 and they have a ton of grip!

Looks good to me. Do you have any more close up shots of the bulge of the 335s on your 11" rim (ground oblique shot)? I've got a set of F14s on order (18x11") and am debating on going with the 335s?
