Just put on my new chrome 18s. pics..

Check out my homepage. And let me know what you guys think.
These are 18x8 Omni Tango with 245/40/18 Kumho 712s.
The ride feels harsher but i love it. I'm wondering if the tires are not overinflated.
What PSI should those tires be inflated to?
Only positive comments welcome
Thanks

PHAT is one word! Is your ride lowered? My 18"s waiting for install next week, I wonder if they're going to look as sweet.

Thanks

I got a good deal and paid less than $1600 shipped.
I think 245s did fill my gap about 1/2 an inch, and my ride is not lowered.
Thanks again for all the comments.
I'll be posting more pics when i'll wash the car.
Which should be later on tonite.

Peace

Those are friggin sweet lookin. Are they heavy? What brand are they? How wide? I like the way they fill the wells. They match the overall look very nicely.

Weight...

Well, i called the place where i bought it from and asked how many lbs did the boxes weigh, and the guy said 50 of the top of his head, so I dont' know how accurate it was, but keep in mind that that's with tires and cartboard box and whatever else there was inside.
And today, when i shipped my chrome stock 17s with stock tires, in the same boxes they were 55.68 lbs each box. So i'd say they are the same or somewhere close.
thanks again
peace
oh, and ssiperko, for all the info just scroll up.

no way?

Are you sure it should be only 35psi? 2 of the wheels were 41 and the other 2 were 45psi when i first drove around. i lowered it down to 40psi. Wow, if that's true i guess it's not gonna be as harsh nomore. please verify and write back : 245/40/18 kumho's 712s.
thanks a lot.
Difinitely bling blingin'

Thanks, your rims look real good also. What tire size do you have, and what air pressure (PSI) do you have.
