Hey, all

Got 'em on a couple of weeks ago, but nobody seemed to notice in the tire/wheel thread. My fitment here confirms the theory that +42 offset will rub, but it's really minor, even with a drop.

18x7.5" Tenzo-R Psycho +42 Offset
215/35R18 Pirelli P7000

I thought they looked a little too big at first...what do you guys think?

Those look really good.

How does the car accelerate and steer with those large rims? Does it accelerate slower or does the steering tramline?

I work for a engineering firm which designs sub divisions and coordinates the construction. Id reccomend geomatics as long as you like working outdoors. Whats it like driving a tank?

damn real!
i think tenzo is a good choice with the classic black car/silver rimz look, tailights gotta go, look cheap and ricey

i feel rims can never be too big, so after i put 20's on my b**** guess it be a bad idea to post a pic

Wow, I guess that's a good example of "to each his own". I've had more compliments on the taillights than I have on the rims!

nah, I wanna see em. I plan on putting some 19" spinners on my car just for shows...none of those bling bling ones that look like a solid disc with tiny holes. Just a plain 5-spoke spinner. Its not completely my taste, but I have talked to MANY car show judges and if you wanna win, you gotta draw attention. As long as they arent too gaudy, chrome wins more points att show than a wiocked expensive tuner rim like VOlks or Advan. My daily rims will be 5zigen FN01R-C in Bronze.

There is alot of being outside and then you close the top hatch!!

I have been doing it for 12 Years now, I used to think "This is so cool, I'm driving a Tank/Army Truck" lately it's just work and normal.

It is fun as long as noone is shooting back...

The taillights are done with the same black vinyl that you'd make window stickers out of. I use some 3M fineline 1/8" masking tape to outline the parts I wanted to cut out, then stretched the vinyl over the lights (heat helps, but that stuff is really stretchy) then just trimmed around the tape and voila! I probably would have done a howto, but at the time I really didn't think they were going to turn out.
