New Shoes!!

What'cha think? I like 'em.. Not too bling-bling, not too racey (mesh with deep lip), not too heavy (same as stock weight ~ 50lbs. w/tires), not too big (18s), not too wide (x8.5), perfect offset (35), perfect deep dish lip (1.25")...

The "perma-grin" is kickin' in!!

Oh yeah, and don't worry the springs go on VERY soon.. I was planning to get Progress, but I measured and rear and if I drop more than 1.5, it is going to rub (8.5" wide wheels!!)

So it looks like Eibach will be getting my money.. $219.99

Looks like the Zenetti's I was going to buy for my Hyundai almost 2 years ago....

I've heard ADR's might have pitting problems so watch the outer lips for it

They are HMC Chrome, whatever that really means.. They called it "High Metallic Chrome Chrome"

It no different than normal Chrome, from what I can tell. I also got some slip with the rims that said they were using some new kind of ion plating.. Almost sounds like a powdercoat process to apply the Chrome.. *shrug*

NT2SHBBY: What do you mean man!! I sure hope these rims don't "pit" or anything.. I will keep an eye out, but it's not like I have a lifetime warranty or anything, so I'd be SOL if that happens.. I'll be sure and keep them away from salt, etc..

Later,
Kevin

Kumho Escta Supra 712s.. I've had them before and for the price, they are a good tire.. They grip REALLY well in wet conditions, too, unlike the crappy stock Potenza RE90s which slide all over the place!!

I went with 235 but I wish I had gone with 245s.. A little wider (more rubber on ground). When it comes time to get new tires, I'm FOR SURE getting 245s...

Thanks for all the nice comments!!
