Merry Christmas to me. New wheels

I actually got these tires and wheels earlier in the month but finally got around to putting them on and taking some photos.

they look a little small on the car, but i think that's just personal taste. good job!

I too think they look a little small, but still look so good, congrats........

Yeah, they are only 18's and when you are used to looking at 19's & 20's they just pale in comparison. I really wish I lived in an area where the roads were at least decent. There are so many potholes here and the roads are in such terrible shape here I wouldn't even think about 19's. I still swear that the potholes on my street are responsible for blowing out one of the coilovers on my Porsche. I think I am going to put on lowering springs or adjustable coilovers on her, that should help the look out a bit.

Nice....looks good with the overall package.

new wheels will definitely be my next purchase. i might buy 19's but i really think 18's are as big as anyone needs to go. you lose acceleration when you buy huge wheels.
