NEW Rims 18X8 Tantrums PICS

I'm please with how they look but I really don't like the wheel gap I have up front, oh well. H&Rs will definitely be my next mod. Should I have gotten springs before rims? I think I remember someone saying this.

Looks good Matt! Yep... get rid of that wheel gap and you're gonna get a better stance

50.452 lbs.

my stock 17" rims plus my Pilot Sports weighed 52.587

I lost some weight, but when you factor in inertia and all that good stuff I think it boils down to being about the same weight as before.

Looks good!

Springs for your next mod is a good idea.

I hope you don't plan to use them at the track.

What did you pay for the package and from where?

Discount tire, about $1100, they bought my Pilot Sports for (I think)$300

they odered me Silver/Chrome center caps too, I'm not a big fan of the gold/bronze

my current setup is about what it was before, but yes, after the springs I will be getting lighter rims/tires for the track, if I have any dough left
