Ordered some new Cobra R's from Summit. If anyone wants a discount on wheels and wants chrome, call Summit and order the polished because they are out of stock for an unknow period of time and they will match the polished cost for the chromes. Every stinking picture I took was blury, I'm not sure if the camera sucks or if I just had too much to drink? Need to paint up my brakes and then will look pretty damn good. Stnace is pretty mean from the rear, but don't have any really good pics yet. Car needs a good wash, you can see how dirty it is on a front wheel shot, I wiped a small sopt of dirt away.........

They are 17s. If you look at the tires they say 275/40/R17.

Edit: looks like I was beat to the punch.

Yeah 17''s, absulutly no rubbing exect a little on my exhaust, but even my 245s I noticed did that. Wish I had ordered 295/40/17's. Next time I guess.

The pictures are blurry because when there is limited light, the aperature opens to try to let as much light in as possible. This causes shutter speed to slow waaay down. So the picture is exposed for a longer period of time, letting more light in but also causing it to be very suseptible to shake or fuzziness.

Hey thanks! I'd get 295's out back next time. Might need a 1/4" wheel spacer but it would look even badder.

Also notice more light = less blurr.

Yes, you are right about the light, I guess I hadn't drank too much. The Kuhmo Ecsta MX's are too hard to pass up right now. They are rated #2 behind the Advans and are like half the price and then you get a $40 rebate too.

I have 92 miles on them so I haven't beat on them yet but I tested a little and it feels like they shlould hold traction pretty well so I'm happy.

\But yes, I wanted to stay away from the Kohmos but how can you pass them up how they are rated and the price??

I was too tired that night to read the white letters and numbers on the tire.

I consider this the ugly finish:








16" with Nitto 225/55/16 tires at 4 corners, and don't mind the damage to the front right of the car, long story.

Thanks guys.

It's kind of funny. I thought the wing looked pretty good with the ponys but it fits even less with the R's. Would like to get a nice 2 tone paint job or maybe flames but I don't see that happening this year so the wing will remain for the moment.
