Default New wheels and tires on tonight!!

OK gang...I don't think I've ever sweat like this in my life. This is the first time I've experienced bad humidity since moving to the midwest, and on the day I swap out my tires and rims.....damn!!!



Anyway...some quick shots of the new 18" fanblades....mounted up and looking sweet! I'll post some better pics tomorrow in the daylight.....I'm just so happy...I've loved these from day one! Woooohooooooo....you like these better than the stock bullits?













Updated: Some daytime shots as promised:

It looks awesome! The next thing I would do is buy the Gt side skirts to make it look a little lower and that way the color continues.

I love them! Are you willing to sell your takeoffs? If so how much would you want...

Those look really good! I was not sure how I thought they looked on our cars, but they really accent your car well. Nice stripes and louvers too.

I wanted fan blades sooooo badly! Had to settle for 17" alloys though... [&:]

At this point, I think I'm going to hold onto the stock bullits for now. Be nice to have an extra set of wheels for some other plans down the road.


Thanks for the compliments guys! I'm loving these things. It was appaent this morning on the drive into work what a difference there was! So many people were turning to look...it was awesome! The fanblades look SOOO much bigger than the bullits too. I just realized why. The bullits have a shorter spokes and then a couple levels of lip in the wheel. The fanblades spokes start at the hub and go all the way to the edge of the wheel. So even though it's only 1" bigger than the bullits....it's makes it look MUCH bigger! I'm loving them so far!!!
