OH-NO another new wheels and tires thread
2 weeks ago put on my new W & T's.
I got the TSW Willow's Silver face black lip. 19*8 19*9.5. Then wrapped em in Nitto invo's 245*35 and 285*30.
I've tried, but the pics dont do em justice.
I'm super happy so far. Feel free to tell me like or don't(I've got thick skin).

I'm going with "pics don't do them justice"...that being said - all that really matters is that you're happy with them

I do have a question - why are your front calipers red and rears silver?

Born and raised in Phoenix AZ....I'm stuck in Huntsville Alabama right now, I'll be moving back to Phoenix as soon as my house here sells.
Once back in PHX--It will then get dropped. I'm actually thinking of producing my own "air-draulic" suspension based off of a "shockwave" strut assembly.

wheels are ok, but agree the red is not good - better off with yellow or lambo green on all 4 - and the front grill is doing you no good - and yes drop that puppy

Calipers are going to be blacked out pretty soon-next time wheels come off.
As far as the 285s go, I did take a bodyman's "flat hammer" and roll the inner lip in as much as I could... I havent had issue one as far as rubbing
Send me a PM with your email and I'll send you a few more pics and the info of the guy I got them from. Like I said originally I dont think the pics do them justice as I've gotten tons of compliments on them. EVEN FROM MY WIFE who disses me constantly.

Im about to paint my brakes red also,but I have gloss black wheels coming with a red pin stripe.My car is also black so it should look better.
This is the look im going for and I say keep the red brakes but change the wheels to a darker color.

I am really wanting to hammer it.. But not until summer rolls around.
Once it warms up I may make my own strut/shock kit based off of the ART Shockwave kit. Once it goes down I want it to be problem-free.
As far as the black car with the black wheels goes, Love it, but where I live currently it's hard keeping black clean. I also have a black CLK 500 and that is a bear to keep clean.
Maybe when I move back to Phoenix.
