Not digging the stretched tire look, put some wider tires on those wheels...

i have to wait for my sponsorship to run out in december before I can get new tires

at that time i will be getting the wheels powdercoated a much darker blue. This blue was not what I was looking for (too bright). I actually sprayed the wheels myself. I curbed one of them very badly and couldnt find a bronze that matched what the wheels were already finished with. So, I repaired the wheel knowing i would have to refinish all 4 wheels. I decided to do a crazy color since I was just going to be spraying them and having them powdercoated at a later date when I got my tires replaced (cost of powdercoating plus cost of tire dismount, plus cost of tire mount and balance was just too much just for a wheel finish). Anyways, I ended up spraying them with a blue that I thought would turn out much darker, when in reality it was the color you see in the pics.

I still kind of liked the idea, but wanted a much darker shade of blue. When I get my new tires in this winter, I will get them coated and the new tires mounted all at once.

Thanks for the comments

Well home slice, if you know a thing or 2 about putting a 18x9.5 on an evo. you would understand that its Kinda Hard! Running a lower profile tire EX. 255/35/18 make for Way less aggrivation when you driving. If you run to much tire. You will hot everywhere. Trust me i learned the hard way.... as once 2 had p45s 9.5s on my car at one point.

oh yea...questions about the manifold/turbo

it is an RnR manifold. I am running a dual BB 50-trim kit in a t3/04 housing. It is mated to a HPF 3.5" exhaust (no cat). Hoping to break 425whp on pump

The blue rims are a bit much. Don't get me wrong I like blue rims, but its hard to tie in alot of colors together before you start looking like your advertising for crayola.
