So yesterday I picked up my new wheels from my buddy Sean. I got an insanely good deal on them and was already setup to meet up with him to pick them up so I couldn't cancel out just because my stuff got stolen. I could sell my old wheels for more than I paid for these anyway. smile.gif

The wheels are 18x8" ALT AT159s, a 15-spoke chrome design. The rubber mounted on them are 225/40-18 Falken Ziex tires all around, with about 30% tread left I'd guess. One wheel has an area where the chrome chipped off from the car rolling off of a U-Haul trailer without the wheels straight, but other than that they're in almost perfect condition. smile.gif

Anyway, here are the photos:

Let me know what you think...I'm thinking about sanding them down and painting them black, black with a chrome lip, or bronze. I'm not too sure if I want to keep them on the car though...they do make the car noticably slower due to their weight, but besides the chrome I like them a lot...I'm not sure on the offset, but the wheels do stick out the sides of the car farther, which I really like. smile.gif
