You got my exact wheel I'm getting next year. They look great just sitting there. What tires you running?

 

[koozy]

The wheels are pretty rare, so as soon as I saw them (new) I scooped them up. They are one of few that I like on the FiST and at 14lbs. ea. I'm happy. I haven't gotten the tires yet, still thinking about my options but I'm most likely going with 215/45/16.

I'll be going 205/45 BFG s-Comp 2s. Have then now on my 15s and love them. Highly recommended them.

Got pics with the maxton splitter on? Front lower view would be lovely, want to know how thickit is when mounted.

Check back tomorrow. I spent the afternoon installing it today, but it's too dark out right now to get any good photos. It's about an inch and half thick in height, so figure it looking that much lower. I'm happy with the way it turned out and looks, the molet finish closely matches the OE plastics and the lines from the lower grill blend in and carry on with the splitter. It's also pretty secure considering it's got 12 bolts, 6 of them up front. In the mean time here are some photos I captured during the install process. I installed it with the front clip off to get everything aligned correctly and it is now a part of the front clip, making it easy to get off and put back on as a whole unit.

Probably in a couple of months... no real rush as I still have tread left on the current set I'm on.

extra set of TPMS sensors arrived for the new set of wheels. I may mount tires on the Sliptreams sooner than expected.

moving along slowly while I wait for the DHM kit to arrive, in the meantime found some new center caps to complement the wheels.

Where you get those caps and what size are they?
Looks good.

Got home late tonight and was elated when I saw a box in front of the door waiting for me and so were my boys,
DHM turbo kit inside. I just took a peek in the box and see that everything is wrapped really well. I will go through it tomorrow, but I'm stoked to get this party going!
