I have the same ones in black. Pretty nice rims. Looks better with your ride height though.

| I like the black against the red. Looks nice 426hemi. I cant wait to see it with the lowering springs. |

how's the ride comfort? how big of a hit did you take on mileage with the 225's??
I'd like to get 18's for mine but I have a 76 mile one way commute daily so mileage is very important to me. |

My ride is stiffer than stock, so it doesn't have that "Cadillac" ride anymore. But I think that most of it is coming from the spring and strut upgrade I have, not so much from the tires.
I drive about 80 round trip a day, and 98% is freeway miles. I'm getting around 30 miles per gallon. Probably could be better but I enjoy getting a little crazy at times. :D |

| cuball, let me know if you notice the drivers side is lower than the passenger side in a few months. I seem to have this issue as well as pickledchang. |

| Will do...but I have had the springs on the car for about 3 months and both sides are the same. Maybe something shifted on yours. Did you have a dealer mount them? |

| Hey Rio. I like the Whip. I assume the front spoiler is custom. The fogs look sweet! Any idea if something like that is available? |
