Hey guys, just ordered new wheels and tires for my speed. Let me know what you think. The wheels are 18x8 with a 48 offset, and the tires are 235/40's Sumitomo HTR Z III'2. I originally wanted to get the Pirelli Nero's but they were on backorder. I know there are much better tires out there, but for 110 a peice on tirerack and decent reviews, I gave em a shot.

Well here they are, I'm pretty happy with them. It makes me want to get a drop even more now, but I actually think they look ok even without a drop.

Sweeet!!! Simon says, "Tint those Windows"

Yeah I know, haha, add to the list of so many mods I want to do. But at least once I did that I think I'd be done and happy with appearance mods, unless you considering upgrading springs an appearance mod, cause of the drop. Thx for the comments. Very happy with the Sumitomos btw, I'm now noticing even more strange sounds because of the quiet ride. Think they might be coming from my turbo gauge.
 
The Sumos don't get nearly as loud as the stockers or even some of the others that I've ran (FKs also). Great bank for the buck with comparable performance to the OEM.
