welp i just thought id share.

wheels are RH evo J5's. got them for $650 new and they used to be like $500 each. there no longer in business so...

18x8.5 +44. i was told 18.9 lbs which is 4.4 lbs lighter than OEM but i dont have a scale to confirm. they came gold but i had them powder coated for $35 each to flat black.








i went with Continental DW's 245/35/18 which is 3 lbs lighter than OEM!

man there thin! getting mounted tomorrow. ill report back if i need to role the fenders. i found a guy with Epic springs so 1" lower with same setup and he said he didnt have to do anything but an alignment because of the springs.

thin!

ok so i had to mount them in winter for a few days because i sold my 17" ws-60's and selling my OEM wheels. new setup looks almost the same because i powder coated them black as well and there the same weight also 18" but only 7.5" wide with a 215/40 tire. anywho heres the summers for only a day or two at most i hope.
