New Wheels!

[yukonblizzard]

Well after a few years of having heavy 20" wheels and crappy tires I decided to change it up this season. I went with 18" TSW Interlagos wrapped in NITTO NT55R 305/40s and NT555 275/40s. I weighed the wheels and they were just over 19lbs, a big difference from the 30lb wheels that were on before. Didnt get to really test out how well the tires grabbed though because Im still breaking in the new t56 transmission I installed over the winter, so I am really excited to see how well it hooks. Anyways here are some crappy iPhone pictures....

For reference these are the old rims...

Im going to have to customize the front center caps because they dont fit properly, but I heard this is a pretty common problem with these wheels.

Yeah I will miss the old wheels as far the style, but I bought them before I really knew anything about wheels and tires. They were only 8.5" in width which really limited my tire choices and the offsets were not the best; they were tucked in far too much unlike the new set which are flush on all four corners.

I like that a lot! You may want to check your tire pressures after you drive them a bit, that dust pattern on your rears looks like you're not enjoying all the contact patch

Nice. That finish on the new ones looks really damn good.

Thanks man, and yep I see what you are saying. I will definitely do that!

Thanks! I originally ordered a black finish but the supplier ended up only having 2 available and being that I am so impatient I ended up with this finish. Pretty happy with that decision thus far
