      have fun off roading man. should be able to handle any terrain.
      hmm somehow I don't think r-comps will like gravel or sand very much. ;)

      they should really enjoy the next three HPDEs though, I can't wait to test their limits, the little bit I've been able to play on the street has been interesting to say the least! Maybe by some miracle of god I'll have my accelerometer stuff hooked up and datalogged too. :)

        Damn, they look like they can really grip around a curve.

            there is no problem with the sidewalls, they are right in the middle of the suggested wheel widths (8"-7"). They are very responsive, probably more so than a rubber band wrapped around a 25lb cast wheel. ;)

            and yeah it's sterling silver.
            I LOVE the 888's and would rock them if I didn't park my car in winter's and have to worry about storing them.

            Your car is sooooooo clean and tasteful!

              would look alot better on 8-9" wheels. Should handle just fine as is though.

                yeah, they just came out with the same wheel in an 8" size, I was thinking of getting some actually. they probably wouldn't fit without flares though, I don't know. it's pretty tight as is.

                and fuck I edited your post instead of quoting, again! lol.

                  Lol I had 205s on a 9" wheel! :D

                  I think it looks retarded but looks are not what you're going for here. I'm glad they fit nicely within the allotted space. I know your race the piss out of your car so kudos to this wheel/tire combo sir, you can now own AutoX fully.

                        LOVE it. Stretched tires are super gay.

                            thanks, I am the ying to your yang - I think stretched tires looks retarded so it balances out in the end. Also I think its gay. :)

                            Joe318is, that was my old setup, worked really well on my car! Took the local SM championship last year (I'd get pwned at nationals though). but I want to do more HPDEs and I don't really have room for 4 sets of tires. It's down to these and the snow tires now. I want to sell the euroweaves too, I'm just completely bored with them (and sick of cleaning them).

                              Looks business.

                              225/50/14 on bottlecaps is meaty as shit too.
