    Finally ordered a real mod!

    So, I recently graduated college so I am no longer a starving college student. I celebrated by ordering some wheels... they will be here on the 15th... i'm super anxious because this is the longest I have ever owned a car and had it remain stock, it was driving me nuts! Anyway on with the goods...

    I ordered these Sparco Assettos 18x8 in bronze





    I will post pics as soon as I get them and install them.

    Here is a pic of them on a car, I was questioning the bronze until I saw in real pics they are much darker in color.

    Looks good, I think it will turn out awesome!

    I see you went with 18x8. What offset? Also you plan on using your stock tires?

    Another DWS fan...getting to be an avalanche on the forum. With the wider wheels, why not the slightly larger 225s?

    For 8" wide wheel, most manufacturers use 225 tires for testing. 215 would still fit and give it a more stretched look but would also expose the wheel more.

    215 on 8" is a very subtle stretch... it will be ok.
