New Rims Installed - Pics Inside

I recently replaced the stock turbo rims (ready for R-Compound rewraps) with these 18" Champion RG5 Monolites. I like the new look.

Those are beautiful wheels, remind me a lot of my Cargraphic wheels. As someone said before, just lower that baby a bit and you will be set...

Thanks for all the Props guys -

Not sure I am going to lower this one - the front floats a bit - but the wife likes the ride - and the last ride I had got a bit stiff for her. Right now I've got her right where I want her - she loves the car. I just got the road rash on the front lip fixed too! What is the best lowering approach that preserves the ladies ride quality?

I can't believe UPS ruined that rim when I returned it. I think they are going to pay me for it but I don't have the check yet. Hey at least we'll do some tire business

Actually, I hadn't noticed it but you are right, the left front is in a bit of a low spot and has more wheel gap than usual.

Busted! I do like the RS-GT better......but these do look good, though.
