Autocrossing on 18's

[shomesomesho]

Guess what, I switched tires and rims again.

Now on 18x8's with 245-35/18 Kumho V710's. I like these a lot more than the Hoosiers, as they are definitely faster. They also behave much better in the turns.

Here's a series of pics gliding through a tight 180 deg turn last weekend's autocross meet. .

All of the above.

They came silver, I painted them metallic black, and with some action they got a little dirty.

I really like the look of those. But I dont know if I could justify spending that kinda money on new rims to paint them for my car.

Elaborate.

You always get excited and post links to 16" wheels.

 

[SASHO91]

Ah, true....


But that's not to say I will never buy some 18's, ya know.... Anywho....
