these wheels only come in weak width/offset in 17's... also they rarely are available in 17's. the width and offset are what I wanted and they were available so I bought them. I don't dislike them, I think they would look better with bigger rubber. They are still a high quality, fairly rare wheel.

Yeah, I know you mentioned their rarity before. Weak offsets are no bueno...I still think they look awesome, how's the trun in/exit after the change from past setup?

the previous setup was very comparable, just in 17s

These are
18x9.5 +30
255/35/18

previous
17x9.5 +38
255/40/17

The car feels the same from the little bit of driving I have done. I can tell these tires are softer and grip harder. other than that, they feel the same.

I still can't believe you picked up a neon man lol.

Aaron I also agree with wishing you went with 17s and having more tire width

Looks like your going to go have to buy a pack of wifebeaters and lose 40 or so pounds to fit in with the neon club.

Was just making a crack about typical srt4 drivers, but yours is just a regular pos so its no biggie you could be an overweight single woman named tricia with 2 kids and various mcdonalds wrappers and old fries covering the floors of your car.

That's what I like to hear or read.

So we saw a nice 240Z at the RK meet tonight. The car was in great shape. Had a roll cage, harnesses, race seats, and a big IC up front.
