18" TT2 are on!!! PICS Just got these on this past week but the car has been sitting in the garage getting a new intake manifold so I couldn't even take it out. Well...it went on today and here are some pics.
Fronts are 18x8 w/ 5.25" backspacing with 245/40/18 BFG KDW2's
Rears are 18x10 w/ 7" backspacing with 295/35/18 BFG KDW2's
these are polished hoop and chrome centers which I picked up through Tomzwheels. Excellent customer service and they certainly know what they are doing.
And just so you know how it looked before the rims...stock 16" chromes

thanks for the compliments...especially from a guy that owns such great looking cars. I went with the extra cost of chrome just for the fact of easier cleaning. I applied Rejex to the wheels before everything was mounted and balanced so hopefully I'll be a little ahead of the cleaning game. I have the powerball ready to roll for whenever the time comes as well.

I have the receipt in my car. Wheels set me back ~$1350 shipped with lugs, valve stems, locks and the option of the chrome center spokes from Tomzwheels. Excellent customer service and Tom really helped me nail down a great offset.
Tires were another ~$1000 from National Tire & Battery mounted and balanced. I installed the wheels myself so I was not charged for an install. They matched the price at Tire Rack to the dollar but add in shipping if they are not in stock.
The car is not lowered. I guess I can thank the crappy stock shocks for the sag
. I do have ~50lbs of stereo equipment in the trunk which probably is bringing the rear down a touch.
Thanks for all the compliments guys....I'm ready for the summer!
