I found a deal on a used set of Boss 338's with tires.  The tires aren't new, but they'll last me the year until I figure out what size I want to run.  It was a really cloudy day so the rims and car look dark.  I'm sure the sun will make brighten things up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks awesome, like having a whole new car sorta.

Those look great on it! Completely changed the look of the car.

They're 18 x 8's, I would have liked the 18 x 9.5 version for the rear but the price was right. I can always get a little wider tire on them. The tires are all 225/50/18's. Rear's are Goodyear Eagle F1's with a fair amount of tread, the fronts are Eagle LS2's that aren't as good and have some edge wear.

They do give the car a different feel. With the 15" BFG T/A's I thought the car handled fairly well and stayed pretty flat in the corners. Now that the side walls don't roll over I can feel how soft my suspension is and the car seems to roll over a bit more.

Earlier this year I bought a pair of Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Radials so I'll swap them on for the few times I make it to the drag strip.

They're never done!   And after the suspension is better I'll see that I need bigger brakes.  So I can justify the new wheels to fit the bigger brakes I'll need.  

Your wife must be very understanding to let you constantly buy new car parts...
