Finally Pictures of my NEW rims!

Well the weather finally cleared up well enough for me to get a few shots of my new rims with the right size tires on the front. After a few arguments with discount tires they finally ordered the tires I wanted for the front of my car. 235/40-18s. The stock tires were just not wide enough for the new after market rims which are 18x8.5. When they were mounted to the stock 225/40s they were .25 inches short on both the inside and out side of the rim! You can imagine how stupid it looked. Even after the new 235s were mounted I could tell that I could have even gone to a 245 width. But these will do for now. The wider you go the more money it costs. My rears are 275/35-18s. I had the rims powder coated to match the color of my car. Metallic Seal Grey. Anyway, here are some new pictures, now all I need to do is paint my brake calipers red.
