I actually got these tires and wheels earlier in the month but finally got around to putting them on and taking some photos.

Yeah, they are only 18's and when you are used to looking at 19's & 20's they just pale in comparison. I really wish I lived in an area where the roads were at least decent. There are so many potholes here and the roads are in such terrible shape here I wouldn't even think about 19's. I still swear that the potholes on my street are responsible for blowing out one of the coilovers on my Porsche. I think I am going to put on lowering springs or adjustable coilovers on her, that should help the look out a bit.

new wheels will definitely be my next purchase. i might buy 19's but i really think 18's are as big as anyone needs to go. you lose acceleration when you buy huge wheels.
