Looks good! Where did you get them? Are you going to lower the car more?

Prfessors are the bomb! Your car looks great! I personally would have gotten black spokes and polished lips so it looks more "aggressive". But yours are pretty nice too!

Tires and rims look Awesome

Great choice, how long did you have to wait? I was looking at a set of Work Meister S1-3 for my roadster, they have a very similar look, any difference in your ride with the 18's.

thanks ... i had to wait almost one month.

there isnt much difference in the ride because of the rims they are pretty close to the same diameter as the 17's with stock tires ... the ride is a little stiffer because of the tires, but the grip WOW. i have to actually try very hard to break traction around corners now ... very stiff sidewall which is a good thing ... plus i keep them at 45 & 50 psi so i dont dent the rims.

yeah the meisters are real nice my friend is gonna get a set of those for his evo.

I'm guessing no canyon run's for you with the high air pressure and large wheels.. Still have a set of 'Road Wheels'?

Cheers Amy

Over Inflated is probably better than under inflated...as under inflated tires wear out from the inside tread block and V from the side wall.

oh no canyon runs arent out of the question ... but the lowest id go is like 38 psi on the front ... im kinda paranoid haha

yeah they arent too bling they have more of a sporty look ... chrome is way to bling for me ... thats why i like the polished lip
