After almost a year of agonizing decission-making, I finally got a set of rims, went with the ASA JH8 in 20x8" size, 50mm offset, with P255/45R20 Yokohama Parada Spec-X tires ...


Let me know what you think :)

Oh, and one pic of the super-long wheel locks that The Tire Rack sent me ... :knockout: ... guess I'll have to buy a different set locally and lose $28 on the ones from the Rack ...

Thanks ... I normally have a painted engine cover on there but between hitting the track recently and having an oil-change dealer-appt, I haven't put it on now in about a month

Thanks man ... should have them re-balanced soon (the steering wheel shake at 60 is driving me nuts already)

Actually, I think they do too, plus I'm not really a fan of black wheels, but if he likes them great. I'm sure there are people that don't like mine, but hey that's what keeps our cars from all looking exactly the same.:beerchug:

I'm all for cars to be different and all that. I'm glad he likes them a lot. I just can't see them on this car that's all. I know for sure everybody will hate my wheels.

Clay-barred and waxed her today (although now I feel like I got run over by a bulldozer :) ), and of course, took a bunch more pics :)
