Default My wheels finally arrived! Look

Here are a few quick shots of the new wheels. They are Yamaha Black Rota Grids, 18X9.5+20 all around. Tires are Falken FK452, 265/35/18 in the front, and 275/40/18 in the rear. Hope you like them! I can't stop looking for excuses to drive around to show them off. I'll take some better shots after I get her cleaned up. Stay tuned!

EDIT: I was so excited to post, I forgot to add pictures lol. Here they are.

The center caps are on all 4 wheels. Can't speak for the ones who don't install them. Yes the weather is a warm 80ish. Thanks for the comments. Lowering is in the future plans. Just bought a ring for the lady though so it is postponed for a bit LOL.

I'm planning on going with the Eibach pro kit, Tokico HP's, a 5-10mm spacer in the rear and rolling the rear fenders. Thanks for all the comments.

I wouldn't have done a 40-series rear, but otherwise I think they look good.

For whoever posted the centercap question: I think centercaps look like crap, I like the open look better. Nothing to do with brand.

IMO I think it looks cleaner without the center caps.

And people remove the center caps on wheels because it is usually required if you plan to participate in an autox or track event. I just leave mine off all the time because of this.
