Default Wheel and Tire SUPATHREAD

Just like the title says; its time for a Wheel and Tire SUPERTHREAD!

I have searched for one in the forums and didn't find anything. Please forgive me if I some how over looked it. If this is in the wrong section, please feel free to move it.

In addition to pictures, please include in your post:

Wheel manufacturer and style
Wheel size including offset (especially if different than the standard s197)
Tire manufacturer and style
Full tire size
Any suspension modifications (if you have made any)

The more information that you can provide the better (ie, the vendor you got them from, whether or not you like the tires, how well they have worn...) Please follow all MF.com rules when it comes to links and pricing. This thread is meant to be a source for perspective wheel/tire buyers to be able to make a confident purchase.

The more detailed and prolific the pictures, the better!

Cheers!

Excellent idea.

I am contemplating Bullitt black deep dish wheels 18x9F, 18x10R.

I am looking forward to the responses.

Huh.

FWIW, I did search the forum before I posted this thread, and since you responded I have searched again, with the same results. I even searched with the terms "wheels" and "rims" with only a hand full of threads that actually have pictures and even fewer actually had any relevant information. Which brings me to my next point....

This thread, if done properly, could actually keep A LOT of other three response threads from cluttering up the boards and improve this crazy place.

Great look. I'm assuming this picture was taken WITH your listed suspension mods?

It looks great. I'd love to see a full side shot of the cars stance. If all goes well, I'll be getting the same tires (with GT500 wheels.)

I'll add mine I guess. I'm not into "big wheels" or lowered cars, so these are 17's on stock suspension with a staggered tire size.

Hot Wheels Sixty-Eight Wheels, 17x9, 45mm offset, black with polished lip
Falken Ziex S/TZ-01 Tires, 255/50/17 front, 275/50/17 rear
