My new rims and tires

Well I got a set of Sportmax 006 Red/black 18x8.5 35mm offset. Put a set of Falken FK452's 265/35-18's on all four corners.



Just found my new sig pic.

The wheels weigh 25lbs. They're kinda heavy.

Rhe next step is to paint the lower half Black with a Red Pearl in the black. I'll put a Red stripe between the Black and Titanium.
thinking about Veilside side skirts and I have'nt decided on a nose yet. I already have the Mazdaspeed rear diffuser on the back.

Wheels look really good, red lip and red calipers go great together. Nice job!

Where did you get your tires? How do the 265s feel on the 8.5" wheel? I was planning on going with the FK452s but in 255 since that is the max recommended size for an 8.5" wheel.

By the way, They Look Great!!!

Falken does not make a 255 in the FK452. I don't see any problem with this size on this rim.
