Very nice. I thought about paint too, but I put the little vented covers on, it has dropped the break dust to almost nil.

Are those the FR500's? 17"? They look so small and the sidewall so fat?

BTW, I LOVE your new wheels. Would love to see a few other angles esp one of the back wheel width. Great choice!!

Why yes, I am from NC. Just relocated from Cary to Pittsboro.
Those are FR500 rims, 18". But the sidewalls are fat. I wanted g-Force TDWs in the 275 size range and the only thing in 18s for that tire are 40 series. Would look much better with 35s or 30s.

Thanks, Mike. I will definitely get some more shots. Hm...maybe I'll do it now. :-))))

Mike, the last pic is of the enclosure. :-)
Barrett-
Did you happen to attend the SCMC show at Gwinnett Place Mall in April? Email me at snipped-for-privacy@svtoa-atlanta.org if you have a chance :-)

Those are VERY nice! The car looks really good -
No rubbing anywhere or any probs?
preparation
I think there is little rubbing when I crank the front wheels all the way, but it could be something else. The rears fit fine, and it looks as if there's even room for a 315 tire back there...if the mood hits me. ;-)
The tires are Yokohama AVS Sport. I like them so far. Not sure how traction is or performance, as I've been driving like Miss Daisy for a couple months so the unsecured audio equipment in my trunk doesn't flop around and disconnect itself. The one thing that surprises me is the ride. I thought going from 17" to 18" was going to yield a very uncomfortable ride, but instead it's the opposite! The ride is much softer now, and I like it.
