Before anything.. THE CHROME TRIM AND THE FENDER STRIPES ARE COMING OFF!! so if anybody says a damn thing about that I'll run u over. Also, I don't wanna hear crap about the front license plate either.
18x8 Konig Unknowns wrapped in 235/40/18 Falken Ziex 512s.. I only had time to get a few day shots, but def had some fun at nite. :)
They're 114.3, so I am using hub rings [they're aluminum], n there is absolutely no shake or anything -- totally smooth ride. I've already driven ~150 miles on em. So far.. absolutely lovin the tires [thx Seth], especially on/offramps. I have a sway bar in my trunk that is goin on asap!!
Here are some pics, but the rest can be found at [some are pretty huge in the 2nd half] www.fotki.com/grandamchick/konigs/ the better pics are in the second half.. lemme know what ya'll think!!
My old rims are still for sale, n I'm lookin to get $300, if anybody is interested: http://www.grandamgt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52491

New pics are on pages 3-5. www.fotki.com/grandamchick/konigs
