So I got my new wheels and tires today. I got them really freakin cheap.

I was questioning the bronze on white look but I really needed some summer tires and just stopped caring...sort of a frustration buy.

MB Motoring Weapon wheels (Acually made by A-Tech)
18x8 30 offset Bronze finish

Nitto Invo 245/40/ZR18

Opinions? I may paint them gold or silver or something.
I have yet to really get into the tires but will type up a mini-review when I get a chance to.

If I were to paint these wheels, what color do you think I should paint them?








EDIT:
The Invo Tires: I tried it out tonight on some on/off ramps. It held wonderfully, not a sound came from it.
The tires are sticky sticky sticky.
I don't know if it's me, the fat that I'm runing a 245/40 on an 8" wide wheel, the fact that I have been driving on snow tires up until today, but the initial steering response feels a little soft. I'm thinking my larger-than-normal sidewall may be offering a little too much flex and soaking up some of the initial bite.

I have been driving on snows so it's quite a change for me. I will have a more decent review later on when I get some more miles on it. It was a little uneasy pushing the tires having just come off the winters so it'll take a little time to get used to it.

 

I like the bronze with white -- the car looks great. I also like the white vs. black shot you've got there.

Nice weather for MA.

 

i like your headlights

 

Wheels look great. I always dug those

 

do you have any problem with 30 offset

 

looks good man

 

awsome setup mate! i have been looking these wheels quite a while and i see that they look great!

Since i have a WW IX too i can really tell how they look like... and yes i like it!!!

 

looks great


...def leave 'em bronze. the contrast makes the car look really sharp

 

nice wheels

 

Thanks. They are TSX projectors and a glossy black painted housing.

None. With a 245/40 the rears seem very close to the fender.
I'm lowered with Tein springs.

They have yet to rub but I literally put these on today a few hours ago. I have to take it out and hit some turns to see.

People on this site are kind of crazy. They buy these ultra-wide wheels...ask how much they weigh as if they're concerned with performance than stretch the hell out of tires to make em fit.

An 18x8.5 with a 245/40 and a 35 offset would probably fit perfect with no fender mods. Unfortunately I don't think this wheel is made in an 8.5 width.


Thanks for the compliments everyone...though I'm still considering painting the rims. I may be too lazy to break out the paint and do the work.

 

nice

 

Nice wheels.....I have the same ones.

I definitely had some rubbing issues with my 17s with the 28mm offset and 245-45-17, not lowered.

 

do you know the weight of these rims?

 

nice...
