Default NEW WHEELS!

Got my 18x9 Shelby Torq Thrust M's by american racing, wrapped in sumitomo HTRZ II's. What do you think? (the tires came as part of a package with the wheels, otherwise I probably would have gone with Nitto's).

No, they're not 285's. They're 255/45's. I look forward to the pics. Yeah, they ride awesome, I'm surprised at the quality of the tires for the cost.

You were right, those are basically the same wheel. I like that, it looks sweeeet! You definitely spent more on your tires than I did. Looks like you need to wash your car a little bit huh?
