wheels

lets see some better pic's of the wheels & sizes...

wheels

tire size is 245/40/zr18 kumho ecsta's, the pass. side wheels have a spot of curb rash more on the rear than the front and the chrome on the rim itself needs refinishing, it's a two piece wheel and the spoke part is fine( don't know if the pic will show it clearly) These were put on by p.o. ( I don't like chrome anything).

Have you noticed that the rim in the pic is bent?

I've been told dumps are just about intolerable in a street car. But you like yours?

How much louder are they than stock exhaust?
