Default New wheels installed, pics

Hey guys, I got new wheels/tires from American Muscle yesterday and installed them today. They are Saleen-style 18x9 on the front and 18x10 on the back. Tires are 255/45/18 front, and 275/40/18 rear, Sumitomo HTRZ IIs. I've had those tires before, and they were "ok". While not my first choice, its what AM had in stock so they'll work.

I also added some vinyl graphics today, the hood "spears" and the rear blackout panel. I have some side "faders" on the way that will hopefully be here early this week to complete the exterior.

Anyhow, these pics are somewhat sucky as the sun was just too bright, but you get the idea. I'll take some better ones hopefully next weekend after the rest of the graphics are on:

Thanks, yeah that trunk decal was a pita to install! Pretty much everything on the car looks better in person, these pictures just SUCK. I just used the quick little point and shoot Nikon camera and the lighting was horrible. I'll bust out the fancy SLR camera when I get the rest of the decals on and take better pics...

Normally I don't like all black wheels, but I must admit yours looks pretty damn good.

Thanks guys, yeah I'll probably get it tinted eventually, just not on the top of the list. The next major mod will be hopefully in February or March in the way of a supercharger...
