Thank you. I love those NISMO's too. I debated a long time between the NISMO's and the CCW's. The NISMO's are so clean looking. In the end, I wanted to try a wider tire and didn't want to add any weight, so I went with the 10.5" CCW's. I lost 12 lbs off each wheel compared to stock. Hey, how big is the center cap on the NISMOS?

Center caps are 2.5 inches.

Felt like rear splash guards were hiding the tires. Removed them and the result (IMO) is a more aggressive look.

Jason, how are those BFG KDW's treating you? Mainly, how's the road noise compared to other tires? I'm considering switching to those when my current Toyo T1S tires wear out, but I don't want anything loud. (The Toyos are great but don't come in a 255/40/18, but the BFGs do... thus my desire to switch.)
