New wheels and tires

[maneval69]

Here are pics of "Midnight" with her new wheels and tires.
KMC "Jacks and Five" with General Grabber UHP P255/55R18s
With the 8.5" wide wheel the tire's side wall doesn't bulge like 255/55's do on stock tires.
One note, I am going to do some grinding on the brake calipers. They are so close to the wheels that the stick-on wheel weights scrubbed on the calipers. It appears to only make contact on the cast flashing. So before my next balance and rotate, I am going to remove the casting flash and smooth the outer surface of the caliper. Then paint it.
Any suggestions on a color for the calipers?

I really need to take a photography class.

Red seems to be the color of choice around here

but one other option might be blue to match your car color - if you want to keep that darked out look

The wheels are black.

Does anyone have pictures of res calipers on a black wheel? (on a dark cooler car)

Very nice. I would consider using another color besides red. Against your blue, I just don't think red is the best choice. I personally would consider silver (or even black), but that's just me.

I didn't like the thought of red, too flashy for me. Silver would look clean and stand out but black would be easy to care for.

I have time to decide.

Those wheels look good.

Now if you could just lower it a bit, it'd look even better. As for the red calipers with the blue, here's a picture. A little Photochopped, but I do have red on my blue magnum.
