Finally.. I think it's been a little more than a month since I ordered these. No rubbing anywhere, and whatever wheelhop I had before is pretty much gone. The tires are NITTO's.. The size up front is 245/40/18.. out back.. 275/35/18.

Yes they are, except my Vistas have the suede insert. They look great on the black!! I've currently got a group purchase going on these or any 18" wheel package from the Intro Exposed series in a 5 lug.

Appreciate all the research you did on those Intros Howie.. They worked out perfect for my car, I like them alot. If I need another set of Intro's, say for my SS for instance.. I'll most likely order through you next time..
Probably save a few $$$ too! :thumbs:

Took some new photos using Fuji film.. (Others were w/Kodak) The digitals were ok but thing is.. when I took the other ones, I had left a filter lense on the camera that I use as a cap, or protective cover, that thing was dirty, and had smudges.. that's why they turned out kind of dark..
Doh! :p

Hey, you say that any wheel hop that you had with the stock tires/wheels are gone now that you got aftermarket ones? If so thats awsome man!

I still get a little hop at times, mainly on rougher asphalt/pavement. But having just spent alot of $$, I'm not doing that many burn outs now :p
Of course the tires are going to spin in certain situations anyway, but the 18's made a world of difference! :)

Stormguy, love the wheels. I think those are the best ones I have seen yet. Give it a good "muscle" look in my eyes. Great job! :drink:

Hey Robin, are you going to be able to attend the meet up in KC at the end of April? I would like to take a look at those wheels in person.

Yeah I should be able to make unless the weather steers me in a different direction ;) Won't be in the gaot though!
The tires are Nitto NT 555's http://www.nittotire.com/tires_555.asp

April is a big storm month. I hope you mean that if you make it to KC you will be in the Goat, but if you are chasing a storm you wont.....

I'll bet the new wheel and tire package is lighter than the stock wheels. This could be the reason there is less wheel hop. Due to less upsprung weight. Have you weighed the new rear tire and wheel? The stock ones weigh 55lb as mentioned in a earlier thread.
