I have the same ones in black. Pretty nice rims. Looks better with your ride height though.

I like the black against the red. Looks nice 426hemi. I cant wait to see it with the lowering springs.

how's the ride comfort? how big of a hit did you take on mileage with the 225's??

I'd like to get 18's for mine but I have a 76 mile one way commute daily so mileage is very important to me.

My ride is stiffer than stock, so it doesn't have that "Cadillac" ride anymore. But I think that most of it is coming from the spring and strut upgrade I have, not so much from the tires.

I drive about 80 round trip a day, and 98% is freeway miles. I'm getting around 30 miles per gallon. Probably could be better but I enjoy getting a little crazy at times. :D

cuball, let me know if you notice the drivers side is lower than the passenger side in a few months. I seem to have this issue as well as pickledchang.

Will do...but I have had the springs on the car for about 3 months and both sides are the same. Maybe something shifted on yours. Did you have a dealer mount them?
