I ended up going with the ASA AR9's, i figure this way it gives me 4 choices depending on what looks best, the 3 inserts or no inserts at all. I also bought a set of goodyear eagle GT's to wrap them in. They should be here either friday or monday according to tire rack. Depending on what the red insert looks like ill put on of the other ones in first and paint to match the car. Ill post pics once i get them and install them.

You should see if anyone will photoshop them on there for you. I was seriously considering them, but things changed and I cant afford new rims at the moment...damn economy. Maybe next year Ill have some nice rims.

I've seen them "on" a Monte Carlo. I did my own photoshopping plus tireracks example. I just wanna see the real thing so I can see how certain things line up and how well it fills the wheel well, etc.

Oh well... I'll see them around tax time next year I suppose...

I got my tires and wheels today and after installing them i took it for a test drive. At 40+ mph when im not accelerating i get a very bad shimmy. I have checked all the lugs more then once, i even pulled the tires off and out them on a second time and it still does the same thing. Any ideas on this problem?
