I just ordered my new rims today. I got them from Discount Tire Company (tires.com). I got 18 inch Quantum tek S-05. I also got a pretty high quality tire, but I forgot what they are called.Here is a pic of the tire. it cost me about $1300http://www.qtalloys.com/swf1/qtflash.asp

I wasn't able to see the rims but I'm sure they look goodAs far as your rubber they probably sold you some NITTO NT555 or NT450 ZR Tires. at 1300.00 for the whole deal I'm sure those are the tires you have (bought mine from Discount Tire too)

I think the guy called the tires kuhmo's or something like that?

Kuhmos are ok but Nitto's are a little better. When I ordered mine wheels I wanted Kuhmo for the sticker shock but the salesperson preferred NITTOs instead. He said it;s a better tire all around. I'm glad he talked me into it. I spent $1400.00 wheels and tires.

WOW -- i'll do little enhancements first then go and spend that kind of money, or atleast wait till my tires NEED replacing....i can't believe you guys are spending that kind of money so quickly on your cars.....you could have bought intakes for 1/3 that kind of money....more power to ya though -- i guess if ya got it spend it!!!!love to see pics of your rides when done......

It's not so bad when you're buying alloy wheels. Actually you spend more money on the rubber than the wheel itself. I wish I could by mods right now instead but there is nothing out there. Not even springs.
