Default More 18X9 Hp EVO's! Pics Inside!

18X9 Hp Evo Hyper Dark with 275/35/18 sumitomo tires. All from wheelguyz.com. First time posting pics so I apologize if they're messed up. If you want/need more pics let me know.

Tires came m/b on wheels, still waiting on email from HP for weight of wheels alone.

Nice looking wheels, like the offset. By the way what's a TCS Logic module?

It's just the computer thing from SLP that reverses the traction control. When the car is started TCS is OFF, the switch has to be hit to turn it ON (just reverse of factory setup)

It was $1300 shipped. the tires are Sumitomo HTR Z II's. Origionally was getting the Nitto 555's but apparently wheelguyz.com can't get them in that size and sent these instead (with my approval). Know extremely little about these tires so only time will tell!

Thanks for compliments everyone! I'm pretty happy with the look.

Not sure gerdes, maybe somebody here can photochop both on. It took me a LONG time to decide as I typically like chrome or high polish wheels on cars as long as they're not too outrageous. Red's a tough one. Without actually seeing them on, I'm leaning more towards the hyperlight though!

Looks great!! I was leaning towards those for my wife's TA, but wasn't too happy with the fact they aren't exactly the correct bolt pattern, BMW bolt patter is a hair off, but they seem to work, just be sure to tighten the lugs every once in a while! Nice car!

Those 18x9s look MUCH better than the 18x8s they used to only have available. Nice choice in wheels!

For the guy with the red car, go with Hyper lights. Its like a metallic silver on the center and sparkles nicely.

Very nice. And 1300 does not sound that bad for a rim and tire package.

1300 for wheels and tires?!? You got them from wheelguyz.com? Im not to familiar with these wheels, what finish did you get and/or what finish do you guys think look really good for a black SS.

p.s. i really like whatever finish he has.

Im really interested in these wheels but how do their finish hold up for cars that are driven quite abit. No rain/snow driving but whenever its nice the car is driven.
