Autumn/Winter Tires & Spring/Summer Wheels

[Br1ck]

I got some lugs and I've got some pics...I'll post them in a few hours.

They are incredible!

Ok, here is a shot of the tire in relation to the 17" with the Revos (the guy in the shot is a German...not me):

Now a side shot while the tire guy torques the lugs:

The photos still do not do these rims justice. At this size with the Galactic Grey, I can't say enough about just how these rims look. In fact, although the rims seem to shine (it is really just the flash on my camera), the rims actually darken it up a bit. Kind of a mean, aggressive look versus ghetto bling bling. Anyone can buy chrome rims but I believe the rim has to match the car they are on. I hope others will see them and believe I put some thought into the rims I chose.

If there is another shot you'd like, just let me know. I have more of the same, so I just show the right after I cleaned it tonight:

Rims look great, what size/type are the tires???

How do they ride?

Sorry guys, I focused so much on the rim I forgot to include shots of the tires. I'll have some for you today.

As for size, the rims are 20 x 8.5. The tires are BF Goodrich g-force T/A KDW-2s sized at 265/50/20. Here they are at Tirerack.com

I chose this size after consulting the tire calculator. I almost ordered some kuhmos that were 305s but I'm glad I didn't. Due to the wider rim, these tires reach all the way to the edge of the cladding. So, any size bigger than 265 on this rim will stick out past the cladding and kick rocks up onto the paint.

.....The pics were pretty dark, and it was hard to see the tires, so I quickly brightened them and am going to attach them now. Maybe it is just my monitor, so let me know if this helped anyone else.....

hey luxury, i think you need to adjust your monitor - the pics came out great the first time...

My bad, I don't have my monitor very bright because of the poor lightening in my office. I'll delete those posts so they don't junk up the thread.....like this post is sorry. Josh, maybe you can delete your post as well, to shorten the thread a little more, and just use this as record of what happened. It's up to you.

Your rig looks nice, you should lift em by 6" and put on some 35" Mudders.

I can't wait till they come up with 6" lift for the 3rd gens. I'm limited to 265/75R16s.

bringing back an old one here! does anyone know if the rims that br1ck got are still available? i've always loved these wheels, and am about to "need" some new wheels and tires. they don't seem to be available on tires.com anymore, but they do have these:

what do yall think about them? i think they are just a newer version of those of the op. pretty sweet!!
