New wheels

Awesome car. Tastefully done. Black 5 spokes look great with that color.

New wheels

Very nice. Love the look with the BY.

Girlfriend's Shelby, now sporting my SVT 18's

Reason?

She wants more traction.

The Alcoa's aggressive offset put them flush with the fender in the back, making a 305 tire almost impossible since it will most likely rub or hit the fender, especially since the car is lowered.

So, she gets to enjoy my DRs for a while ... 305/40/18 555R's on the back, with her old 285/40/18 Goodyears from the back of the car now on the front

Did you have issues with the hubs? Or #becauseracecar ?

Would love to, but we feel that modding the Alcoas would alter their value, and not in a good way

Interested in selling the Alcoas?

Maybe, but she's not ready to just yet

KRAME: UFFFF that car is so nice. That color would be my top choice for 11-12 now. It's so delicious.

lol, can't wait to get rid of mine too. How much of a difference can you feel with the car sitting back on 18's?

The car now handles. She's happy. She can put her foot down and the car won't spin tires and get sideways. It accelerates. And the 285 front tires make it corner. She loves to drive and with the narrow Invos on the Alcoas she was feeling held back, for the benefit of the good looks of those wheels ... she doesn't want to get rid of them just yet, but they're big money and we might just do that soon ...

Thanks man. Your car was one of the reasons i went with this style wheel.

Did you have issues with the hubs? Or #becauseracecar ?

Not really, a very slight vibration in the steering wheel at certain speeds but basically #becauseracecar

Cool, thanks for the feedback.. reinforces my thoughts. I've never thought about it in that way, but you're right, 20's with narrow invos hold me back too. Lol. Your girlfriend seems like a keeper. She has good opinions and knows what she wants in life

They do look good though.

Size tire?

I have DF5s and custom fitted the OEM center caps on them.

Sounds good. Reach out if/when you decide it's time.

The first coyote I saw was parked inside an Albertson's grocery store, of all places. It was a giveaway car. A 2011 Yellow Blaze premium Brembo GT. I couldn't take my eyes off of it.

I wish captdistraction had not deleted all of his photos. I used those to show other people how well that color can work on a car with the proper wheels and stance.

Now I'll have to use KRAME's car instead.

It's so dang hard for me to get a good picture of what the color really looks like. :/

255/35/20 275/35/20. I was really wanting to run 305/35/20

255/35/20 275/35/20. I was really wanting to run 305/35/20

I tried it with the 305/35/20 in Cooper RS3 (same as MT Sport Comps). Sticks out 5mm on both sides of the fender with the PHB centered. But I've heard of guys running 305s in Nittos making them work because they are narrow. But I looked up the specs of both Coooper and Nittos and the overall width of the 305s are enough be a 10mm difference.

Rummaging through pics and found one I had not remembered....
