What rims and tires do you have? I assume that they are the WS6 or Firehawk rims. Did you have any problems with the offsets?

INFO! Please!

Thanks Matt

Yeah my ISP is kaput so I gotta find a new home.

As Matt said the wheels are 97 WS6 wheels. I did have to use vettebrakes.com spacers. 2.25" in front, 1.25" in back. Tires are 275/40/17 in back 255/40/17 in front.

Hmm, time to start saving. What tires do you have on there? They look pretty mean.

Thanks

The tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE730. I really like them. They're the best tires I've had by far.

I got the rims thru an auction on Ebay run by aaarims.com. I think I "won" them for $650

Thanks for the offer. I've finally put up a bunch of pics on my msn.com (shudder) account. I think that's all I really need right now. I never updated my page much anyways.

Again thanks for the offer though.
