Single Pic of my new wheels - 4 pics added
I was out tonight and decided to stop and snap a few pics. This one really came out well for the rush I was in. These were the x-mas present to myself.

Enkei NT03-M
Hyper Black
17 x 10 +38
275/40/17 HTR ZIII on all four corners.


Enjoy.




New as requested. If anyone knows a hosting site that doesnt ruin the quality of photos, please let me know. These pics look like crap on desktop monitors, but seem to look crystal clear on my laptop.

Sidewalls are fairly stiff, considering these tires were cheap-os from work. I'm happy with how they handle after doing the Alignment. Its much more stable compared with the factory 8" wheels and 225's.

That is the perfect height.. how much did you lower it by? However, not a huge fan of those wheels. Car looks great!

The extra acceleration makes you pretty quick but the weight of the 275's will off-set alot of the gains.

Not really going for weight. It's only a daily driver. As long as it looks good and handles well, I'm happy. Beats putting on 20" chrome rims that weigh a ton.

Yea, I was looking into RGII's and BBS LM's in the same sizes, but I couldn't pass up the deal I got on these. They'll do for now. They are still growing on me.

Those look better on the 8 than I ever thought they would, but I am glad I won't have to be the one cleaning them.
