Default The new rims...

Most of the piks are all out of focus, and this is because my lens is broken and it does not want to focus right anymore...

But anyways, here is my new set of rims along with my new tires.

Gram Light 57F 18x8.5 +45 17lbs of goodness
Falken Azenis(sp) 615 235/40/18

Going to home depot after work to buy a dremel(sp) to cut the fenders and run some spacers.

I think I'd rather see them without the center caps... the plain cap takes away from them I think.

I like! Usually I am not a fan of 5 spokes on the 06/07s, but this looks good! Nice job!

Looks good man! You're rolling super low! As for spacers I'd look into either 10-15mm both front and rear and get some extended wheel studs too! that will yield a net offset of either +30 or +35 You can check Ichiba or Eibach, they make good hubcentric wheel spacers that COME WITH the appropriate extended wheel studs!

what size/brand spacers you going with?

i've got pics of what an 18x8.5 +30mm looks like with a 235/40/18 on my MY05 if you want to see them.
