Default i put my 18s on

I installed my 18's today, 18x8" with 38mm offset. They have on continental contiextremes, 225/40/r18. no rubbing. They fill the gaps PERFECTLY, i dont want to drop the car anymore because these wheels came out so damn well. It was pouring rain today, so sorry for the crappy pics, I'll detail her in a few days and put up some pics that do her more justice. Next is a borla exhaust, HID kit, and oem sport trunk lip spoiler.....enjoy.

I think it would look sick if you blacked out the leaping jaguar. I am loving those 18's, do you mind if I bite? What brand and style are your rims?

yea, but silver and black are the only wheels that look good body color, in my opinion. I've seen nasty red, white and yellow wheels at import shows and they make me want to puke.

I have pirelli's and love em! As for the rims s.k.envy, they look good man. I'm loving the black on black and the chrome lip makes the chromes jag and side bumper things look really sweet. Now just chrome the grill and you're good to go!

yea i want to get the arden upper and lower mesh, then i'll match their black publicity x type. I paid total of 1200 for that setup i have, i chose the continental because that set was the best rated all season tire for the price. I went with allseasons because in ny we get alot of snow, the roads are always wet and highways have terrible drainage, so i have NO complaints with these, continental contiextreme contacts. and they have a sick looking pattern. The pics dont do the car justice, the offset is 38mm and is PERFECT. it comes exactly below all 4 fender flares. make sure your offset is between 37 and 42mm i believe, or else they wont fit.

Mine are 18x7.5" with 40mm offset. 225/40r18 Toyo Proxes 4. Awesome look and fit - about $1100 invested.
