New rims/tires

Regretfully these are dirty pics but ever since I have put them on (last friday) we have had flash flood caliber rain. Supposed to be nice all weekend so I plan on washing them then. They are 18x8 mb oldschool gunmetals with 235/50/18 firestone firehawk wide oval indy 500's.





Also a big thanks to LARRY70GS for basically giving me an education on tire sizes..

 

Sharp looking car!!!! Those rims look great on there!!!!

 

Thank you! Im very happy with them. Along with a new centerlink, its a world of difference driving it.

 

Im not really a fan of aftermarket rims...

But... I like 5 spoke, you didnt go too big, and they look great. A+:TU:

 

Thanks and yeah the biggest Id ever go is 18...original plan was 17's til I found out they werent making these rims anymore.

 

I like it, looks real sharp.

 

Great pick on the wheels! I like them on that car, it looks perfect!!!

 

Thanks everyone...finally got good enough weather to clean them up and get a few pics...

 

Car looks great. You choose some nice locations for pictures as well. :TU:

I'm a fan of those Firehawk Indy 500 tires. That's all I use on my daily driver. I have a set on there right now that I bought in 2007, that have over 100k miles on them, and still have some miles left on them.

 

What Curtis said :beer

 

Thanks, I do have a small photography background but Im still exploring areas of syracuse to take good pics with it. Also snapping as many pics I can as fast as possible as there can be some shady characters around the "artsy" parts. The car wash ones I took so I could have atleast one pic before they got a little dirty (our roads are a mess after some flooding a week ago).

And Im glad to hear that on the tires, that gives me some piece of mind. Im real happy with them to this point, its a daily driver til October for me so they will get a lot of use.

 

Those rims look great on that body style. I think you made a wise choice. any further plans with the ride.

 

Thanks, as soon as I saw them I knew thats what I needed, very happy with the price too. Well I would like to paint the car Im gonna hold off til its not a daily driver (and until I no longer live and park in downtown syracuse). Short term though finally going to do speakers...little more long term would like to have the front seat recovered.

 

Theres a big car show i've heard about that goes on in Syracuse every year,,,any idea what its called and when it is??:beer

 

Tuff looking car. Nice choice of wheels very clean

 

Gotta be Syracuse Nationals, has to be by far the biggest car show in NYS, and I believe its the second largest in the northeast behind Carlisle. People do come from all over for it, something like 8-10 thousand cars show up. Last year was my first year and it was in mid july and was a three day event (fri/sat/sun).

 

Thanks, Im trying to keep this car on the course of clean and simple.

 

Already been said, but that's a really nice combination! They looked good, dirty, better yet, clean!
