18 x 9.5" rears and 18 x 8.5" fronts. 275’s on front, 285’s in the rear… ![http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SSmokinnSS/Picture002.jpg](http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SSmokinnSS/Picture002.jpg) ![http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SSmokinnSS/Picture003.jpg](http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SSmokinnSS/Picture003.jpg) ![http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SSmokinnSS/Picture008.jpg](http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SSmokinnSS/Picture008.jpg) ![http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SSmokinnSS/Picture009.jpg](http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SSmokinnSS/Picture009.jpg) ![http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SSmokinnSS/Picture007-1.jpg](http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SSmokinnSS/Picture007-1.jpg) so far im happy. The car doesnt grip and pull you to every imperfection in the road like the other wheels and tires, and also theirs a big difference in weight between the two…these rims are much lighter then the TTM’s. ---

Haha yeah, I didn’t mean to be so harsh. They just seem to cheapen up the look of the car to me, idk. I think the car would look 10x better slammed on those stock polished wheels you had. ---

At least they’re lighter and it doesn’t tramline. It’s also cool that you can’t see the faces of them very well, the fact that the spokes are convex really kills it for me. ---

I think those are the ugliest rims ever created for a f-body besides the Salad shooters. only reason why alot of F-body guys run them is because they are offered in 11" wide which you can put a 335 tire on.
