The Wheels are on

Put the wheels on this morning. I think I should of held out for 19's though, but Jersey roads will destroy 19's or 20's. Well here it is, I'll take more pics at the meet on Sunday.

C'mon man our newborn babies would be college graduates by the time they do that. Our gov't needs to pay for their houses and vacations. They fix roads that don't need to be fixed and leave the highways a mess.

They are 18 x 7.5, i'm not sure of the offset I think 44. They rub when I hit a big bump, but any wheel would rub on jersey roads.

I bought them off a guy here for $650, and I have the H&R drop. I'm thinking about going coilovers now, I depend how it looks once I put the lip on.

the tail pipe is screwed cause he got rear ended pretty good, he cleaned it up it looks like, there was a post on the 2nd gen page.


nice set up btw , idk if its the tire shine that makes them look like they are alot wider than 225's
