Thought I'd post a couple of pictures of mine at speed and at rest.

As you can see it has 18" gloss black wheels.

The Steeda rims are on the lighter end but are also strong which I wanted for a DD. Unfortunately I can't remember the weight.

The 285/40 KDWs are grippy and with the HP and low end torque I have getting the power to the ground on the track is not too bad - as long as it is dry and the car is pointed straight. My last track day started in the dry and then it really rained. Great way to learn throttle control!

I chose the 285/40/18s on 9.5 " rims as that was suggested as the largest wheel and tire that could go on both ends of a car lowered about an inch. I get very slight rubbing on the plastic inner fenders at full lock but it is not a problem. The Steeda rims also have the correct 45 mm offset.

The main reason i went to 18s was to clear the GT500 brake kit and as Steeda seels the same wheels for the GT500 I knew they would clear.
