NICE!! O.O That looks like a short sidewall, are they 35's? I have been interested in the Hankook tires, have you had a chance to thoroughly test them yet?

those are 18s?

maybe it's the lack of rubber around those rims but they look small.

definitely nice rims, now you just need to lower the car a tad and paint those calipers.

x3 on painting the calipers and lowered. those tires are way too small. i would go 245/45. what's the rims diameter 18x?? hell you probably have no problem with 275/40. i'm running 255/45/18 on 'stang bullitt 18x9 rims. mine is lowered too. i had to rolled the fender lip though. those are nice wheels sorta remind me of a grand prix gtx wheels. if you look at the back wheel you can see how the tire tuck inside the wheel well so much, which kinda look funny. you need to go wider tires or maybe a wheel spacer might help bring out the wheel more.

What should I use to paint the calibers and what brand. should it be a high heat paint and is red a good color cause that is the only color I would paint them on any car.
