I got new rims !!! Look.
18 x 7.5 Giovanna Racing Kuma (hyper black finish)
Nitto Tires
Purchased at Discount Tire
$186/wheel
$143/tire
total $1590 including tax
I hit a pothole which damaged both my front and rear passenger wheels so I figured now was a good time to get these. What do you guys think?

yea it is asoundingly hyper black, at least as far as Giovanna Racing is concerned. Diff manufacturers have diff shades of hyper black. Some look more like gunmetal. I like these. They also have hyper silver which is more whiter/silver. Thanks for all the positive feedback guys.

NICE WHEELS....especially the center cap.
I agree w/ u all, I think it will look much better when the car is lowered.
How're those Nitto tires hanging? Can you feel any traction improvement?

I would actually WAIT to put those wheels on UNTIL I had springs.

sure okay, whutever...like i stated, i hit a pothole which damaged 2 of my wheels on my passenger side. like i'm really gonna wait around until i have enuf money to buy coil overs, to then install my rims, in the meantime I guess I'll continue driving around town with two spare tires. What kinda stupid ass logic is that. Quit smoking that crack pipe man. I'll buy coilovers in due time. But first I need rotors.
