Alrighty, finally got my Konig Tantrum 18x8s installed. Thanks for all the help guys! Anyways, here's a pic. These are a pain in the *** already to wash. Anyways, at about 70mph, I'm getting some steering wheel shaking. It's not too bad, but still noticeable. I do know 18s are more sensitive than 15s, but I'm thinking the shaking is not normal. I've gotten them balanced, but was wondering if that was alignment or what not. On my old stock 98GLE wheels/tires, I had no problems at all, even at 80 or 90. I'm gonna get alignment next week, so hopefully that will solve it.

BTW, the Konig 18x8s were only $160 each at Tires.com.

Thanks guys. I actually like the orange in the front, and I think I may be the only one. But I definitely wanna get the red/clear combo lights in the back. Yeah, the car is lowered, but I think it was just bad lighting last night (7pm or so) when I took the pic. I'll take some better ones eventually.
