Here's some shots of my new wheels. I'll take better full shots when time permits. Anyway, they're 18x9 & 18x10 with Nitto NT555 in 255/45 and NT555R in 305/40. I'm still getting used to the new look. It's tough going from 20's to 18's visually but I'm lovin the feel/ride of having more rubber. I think the new wheels give the car a more serious look; more like a street machine, a muscle car. I've also noticed the NT555R's really pick up a lot of pebbles/gravel going down the road. I can hear them bouncing all over the place on the inner fenders. Maybe I should get some mud flaps now. lol
I think they would look better if you got 19s. They look good but the sidewall just looks massive with them.
I almost went with some wheels that were 19's but then I'd still be running with tires that were 35's or 30's which I was trying to avoid. My 20's were 35/30 profile. The ride on 18's is so much better now.

Thanks! Drag-stripish was kind of what I was going for without having to go all out with 15" drag wheels, which I also considered, but I'd have to run skinnies up front. That was out of the question since I'd still like cornering ability. Too bad no one makes 15x8 or x9 that fit up front.
