New Wheels

[whs]

I needed to replace my tires and figured while I was at it I would upgrade to 18 inch wheels. I bought them from a place called Wheel Dynamics. I would highly recommend these guys. Customer service was outstanding and pricing was very reasonable.

Here are some before and after pictures.

Nice change....now all you need is $20 worth of clear sidemarkers! Just kidding (kinda). I bought wheels from Wheel Dynamics as well and was EXTREMELY pleased with the price and service, not to mention that they shipped them to me in Canada!

Nice upgrade, in both cases. What was the difference in ride quality when you switched to the 18" wheels?

Thanks for the comments. In my case my car rides much better on the 18 inch wheels. However, I can't say how much of that is simply due to having new tires that actually have tread on them! I went from Pilot Sports to Pilot Sports so that is not a variable. My car had really gotten to the point that the ride was pretty harsh on bad roads. Now it is much smoother. My wheels are 18x8 front and 18x11 rear so they are taller and wider than stock. I had no fitment issues what so ever with the proper offsets. The rears are monsters! I'm going to keep my stock wheels and reload them if I decide to start doing DE's.

I upgraded to 19's. The ride is more harsh, but you gotta pay the cost to be the boss. Nobody should be riding around on 17's, unless they are wrapped with winter rubber (like in my case). For less than $2000 you TOTALLY change the look of your car. I wouldn't dream of owning a car without aftermarket wheels, unless maybe it was a Veyron.
