Ok so I decided to make a post showing off my wheels. Enjoy.

 

Looks awesome!!! ill bet it sticks to the road a lot better than with those stock tires, doesnt it?

btw, where did you get that sharkfin antenna?

 

looks alot better now and i see you got some really good tires there, hey what's up with the shark fin?

 

Yea the tires are much nicer than stock. Surprisingly I don't feel like the ride has worsened from jumping to 18s from 16s. I got both my rim+tire combo from a great place out in Long Beach that beat the tire price of America's Tire Co. by $30/tire

The fin is from VisualGarage in Canada They were very helpful in working with me to see if the fin would fit over the sat. receiver, it didn't sadly. I got the fin because I dislike the regular antenna on the car. Plus.. its looks great in person. No more black antenna being an annoyance.

 

thats good the ride didnt change much. are you having any rubbing at all?

is the fin color matched/did you have it painted?

 

Those wheels looks awesome! It really paid off to wait for something you liked.

The drop combined with the 18's really fills it out. Congrats.

I think we all want that fin.

 

No rubbing yet Though I barely have ONE finger gap between the tire and the fender Now I just need some rolling shots.. they look great in motion.

The fin came color matched to my car. You tell them the color of your car and they'll do it for you. It's pricey but well worth it.

Woohoo I started a trend.

 

Looks nice Chels, I've seen the fins on xA's alot, and their functional, which is even better.

 

what are the specs on the wheels? widths and offsets

 

i saw them on saturday and they look nice, good choice and congrats on your win.

 

That looks great! Very clean.

 

$69 plus tax and shipping for a paint matched sharkfin?? thats a sweet price. looks like something else just went on my to-do list, lol.

 

Mine are 18x7.5, and I believe the offset is +40mm. Basically they're these wheels but in silver and 18s There's a seller in the classifieds that sells the wheels but last I heard they won't be getting any more in for another few weeks or so. :?

Thanks for all the nice comments guys Makes me feel good!

 

daddy like!

 

Ok, help me out here, I'm old and easily confused

You said in your post that the shark din "sadly did not" fit over the sat. ant.

But it's on the car. Is is working?

I really like both your tire/wheel combo and the fin. I agree it looks 100 x's better than the stock antenna.

 

it fits for the antenna but it doesnt cover the satellite radio reciever though

 

^^ Exactly.

The fin only covers the base of the antenna, not the receiver you get if you opt for satellite radio.

 

Gotcha. Ok, thanks.

 

just bought my own fin in "hot lava". thanks for posting the website. i can't wait to get it in

 

Nice wheels!
