I like. Your car looks hot. ABP has really grown on me over the last couple years.

I love my avatar, and I've noticed others do as well

Brand new Hankook Ventus V12 evo's, too new for an impression...yet, BUT they are quiet for brand new tires. My size is 235/40/18. The fit is great on the rims, not pinched at all for being mounted on 7.5" rims....which people worry about. Check the pics for yourself
After some more miles and a little more aggressive driving, I'll add my impression of the tires.

couple of Q's...

1) could you post more pics? I'd like to see a side profile and a front angle.

2) Are you lowered?

I have a royal blue 06 and actually had this wheel at the top of my list. since your car is similar i'd use it as a test fit. However, from the looks of the 18", I was afraid it was going to look small on the car and in the pics, it kinda does.

I think you will appreciate the Evos... judging from some well-paved, curvy back roads I was on early this morning. Tenacious.

Tenacious, great word to describe these tires!
I like them so far, and in the rain, I was very surprised by the level of grip....I would say I like them much better than my Kumho Ecsta SPT's, and they are brand new w/full tread still
FYI best MPG with them so far is 30.98 mpg, although I didn't buy them for that

Clean, did someone mention clean? Yes, a little hard to clean, changing my brake pads from Axxis Ultimates (ULT) to Racingbrake 300 I bought from Heeltoe! Thanks Marcus!
Need a good soft wheel brush

Great wheels, great car

I had good long term results with I think PS-21 wheel cleaner.

Think there is a wheel brush looks like a tenis ball that fits on an electric drill. The wash & wax section of azine is of great help
