Dumb Question: How do you get in your car if you have shaved door handles?

Door popper kit. he presses a button on the remote, then a little motor unlocks the door and pops the door out enough for you to open it.

I agree...I you are spending the $$ for an 8.5 inch wide rim you may as well take advantage of it and go for a nice meaty tire.....

Evo5 rims

I just got mine today (18x8) with Kumho Ecstas (235-40-18)... they look funkin' great!!!

I got em at www.Tiretrends.com

18s for 317$ CDN!!

19x8.5 are 408$ CDN.

Great deals, and cheapest I've found. They are based out in B.C. and shipped to me in Ottawa for $48! Great deal, and no Provincial sales tax since they were in BC. LOL

Give em a ring. Tell em Mike Pappas just told you about em (I just want them to thank me for giving them props!).

Sorry to sound like a sales pitch, but I was VERY impressed with the service, turnaround and price, so I promised the guy I'd give them some free press on here.
