Talking new rims
18" AT Italia Inox', just picked up the whole set for $200, the tires are shot and they're a little shinier than I'd like, but there's only once spot of curb rash, and they were priced so cheap how could I say no?

18's will make a huge improvement on looks for your car. Congrats Brendan, can't wait to see them cleaned up and mounted!

heh heh... yeah, you apparently have issues with "getting it." LOL Sorry... don't mean to pick on ya, but easy puns are too tempting some times. heh heh

And now, back to your original programming.

You should get a good look at those wheels close to your car, or even on it, before you decide to dull them down. I think shiny wheels would look good with that color.

I will be throwing them on just to see if there's any rubbing, I'll be able to see how they look then

Ooooh 225/40/18. Very nice. You shouldn't have any rubbing. I'm at 225/45/17, and I'm good, even with my drop. Though I do wish that mine were 18's, cause they look like 16's.

Get them buffed and cleaned up. These will look much better than your contours.

thanks, I've heard people who run 18"s have some rubbing under full steering lock, that's not a big deal to me as long as they're not hitting the fenders, but they're ET40 so I'm sure they won't
