My Wheels -SSR Comp-H
Those look great! If you don't mind me asking what didi that set-up run you? I have been thinking I want 19's but dont want to deal with a bumpy ride, I also heard it's best to not use a 19" rim at the track. I'd have to say that's the first set of 18's I have liked for this car!
PS: That GReddy Evo2 looks sick!

I just bought the same tire set up for my new 18's. I was told that my speedo will be off about 2 mph at highway speeds because of the sidewall height. Have you noticed a difference so far?

How are you supposed to know your speedo is off? I think you will be 2 MPH faster than it says.

Nice choice on the wheels! Looks great!
FYI.....to calculate ANY vehicles actual speed, time your car between the mile markers that are on all freeways. A 10 mile run using cruise control if you have it to maintain a constant speed is the most accurate, but one mile is all that is necessary. Divide 3600 by the time for the mile, and PRESTO, your actual time!
As an example, if you cover the mile in 45 seconds, you were doing 80.....SO SLOW DOWN!!!!!
Stating another way, if you maintain 80 MPH on your speedo for a mile, and it takes you 42 seconds to cover that mile, your speedo is slow by 5.7 MPH.
