Wheels finally made it

Just got them last night. Velox VX8-R, with Kumho Supra 712 205/50/16. Wow. Traction is so much better now! Will have picks up on Friday, just don't knock the wheel gap, it is pretty bad.

LOL thanks alot y'all. I plan on about an inch or inch and half drop. They were 1045, S & H included, mounted balanced, lug nuts, and hub rings. The tint is 5%, and if you do do business with them, make sure to call them daily to insure shipment, and then make sure to check the tracking numbers from them. Man, I love them, and they are only 39lbs total. Also, if you call enough, they upgrade the tires to Z rated for free.

Those recessed kind of rims look hella hot in 18's only. 17's for non-recessed. 16's for racing type. That's what I notice and those are my choices personally for a type of rim. I'll probably end up getting non-recessed 17's like Racing Hart S7's, but who knows...

That bottle looking thing is a cap, it stores power for big bass hits. I think your sound setup looks great, don't diss it man, it's a lot nicer than a lot of other setups I've seen. Good job on the car,
