Default pics of the new rims and tires : )

you'll have to excuse the poor camera quality and the even worse photographer

they are axis reverbs in anthracite 18in 9.5 and 10.5 widths (i forgot the offsets, they only make one offset though i believe)

tires are 245/40/18 and 275/40/18 michelin pilots

im very impressed so far, i love them...gotta love wide tires (i was gonna go with 305s but whats 3 more centimeters anyways?)

There was a bit more wheel gap than i expected so ill be purchasing new springs soon, any suggestions would be great.

and lastly i can decide if i want to take the mudflaps off now

anyways without further delay...







its all about the...washingtons

I love 'em. I just got the same ones. You'll see my post on the site. Great looking car. The reverbs are clean.

I was surprised at how much lighter they were than my last set. I've noticed the difference in performance already.

they weigh 21lbs up front and 22 out back which is pretty nice

i paid like 375 for each...i got a good deal

anyone have any good spring suggestions considering the wheel gap? i dont want to have to mess with camber as well.

Considering the price, I like the Axis wheel. And the hollow spoke design is pretty cool. Looks sharp on silverstone.
