timg Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 Here are some pictures of my car with the new wheels. Fittipaldi Force 18"'s 245/40ZR18 Falken ZE512 tires Stock wheels with 225/55R16 tires weighed 43 lbs. Fittipaldi Force wheels with 245/40ZR18 tires weigh 50 lbs. The car is lowered with KYB GR2's and Eibach springs. http://www.mymonte.com/discussion/shwmessage.aspx?ForumID=17&MessageID=220191&TopicPage=&Edit=1 I tried to link the pics, but the forum didn't like me and wouldn't let me use IMG tags.

HokemBokem Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 Yea man those look good. I dont know if i passed it buy but how much was the total cost? Quote
timg Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report Posted March 27, 2005 $1400 shipped, mounted and balanced, with lugs and hub centric rungs. Tim Quote
z34_nut Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 woo ee, but i heard about traction problems, have you solved any with these new tires? Quote
timg Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report Posted March 27, 2005 nope. It'll still spin them in a straight line. Traction is much better around corners though. If I hadn't gotten all season tires, I might have been a bit better off. Tim Quote
99RegalGS Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 Looks Good. Nice mountain background in a couple of the pics. Quote
slick Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 Talk about heavy!!! Anyways, they do look good. Quote
HokemBokem Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 Wait how did you get them mounted if they shipped the wheels to you? Quote
timg Posted March 28, 2005 Author Report Posted March 28, 2005 The tires were mounted onto the wheels before they shipped. I just put them on the car myself. Tim Quote

GnatGoSplat Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 Looking good! I love the view in that neighborhood! Quote
timg Posted March 28, 2005 Author Report Posted March 28, 2005 Thanks guys. My parents just retired and moved there. The area and the view were one of the reasons they liked the house. It really is a beautiful area. The funny thing is that I was just trying to get good pics of the car, in most of them the background just happened! Tim Quote
