Phase 1 complete - New Wheels

Well the new Roock wheels came in today (thanks Neil). I went with 18x11 and 18x9's. I stepped up the front tire size to 255x35x18 and they are great.

Here is a picture. I also recorded a movie below. Be gentle as my bandwidth is limited.

Next is springs and then the GT2 wing from Getty.

Movie <rt click and save as>

Thanks guys!

True-Nope I am in Aurora. Just a note since you will be downtown this weekend...they are saturating the area looking for DUI's and speeders. They nailed me for 10 over this weekend.

Mercy-How is your coming along?

Hi Tim, congrats! Do you have a link to the specs
for your wheels, or can you tell me the offsets?
This would help me know what 9"x18" wheel
would fit the front.
thanks
Joe

Joe:

I am not sure of the offset as they are on the car . Get in touch with Neil. I do know 100% for sure that Conti2's in 255-35-18 fit like a champ on the 18x9's. Remember our discussion earlier about tire sizes?

Mercy:

Any delivery date yet?

Adsc4s:

I love your car. Looks great. I just can't wait to get the springs put on next week. No more 4x4 look

Tim, No idea. I would say at least another two weeks. I also sold my M5 a few weeks ago, so I am definitely having withdrawals. The Avalanche is great, in it's own sort of way, but I need something sporty and fast ... and soon.
