(updated with clean pics) Bandwagon boat anchor cr00!
Got me some dub-deuces
18x8 G35s and 235/40 Federal SS595s
And I know I need some mineral spirits (and crappy touchup paint) for that nasty scrape... but that's not too bad compared to respraying a wheel because some retard hit it with a pressure washer when I told him not to

...Boat Anchor cr00 NOT FOUND...
hahah looks great. should've gotten some 245s instead. slap on a 5mm up front and a 10mm in the rear to push em out a bit more. done deals. should've used aircraft paint stripper too. would have eaten everything up to the bare metal. day late and a buck short... but its about time you upgraded from those dinky wheels...

False. 50lbs a corner = boat anchors. Just because you've got ship anchors doesn't mean mine are light 
Too wide. The Federals are a pretty wide tire and 235/40 has it almost exactly square.
I'd like to, but I should probably roll my fenders first.
I got some pretty nasty paint stripper, it ate through its container in about ten seconds and it ate through the paint pretty well too.
I still like the Z32s, they're a bit wider and way more unique.
actually I've gone down .5 inches in wheel width, which studies have shown is directly correlated to penor size 
Thanks brobrocop. I might be looking into spacers soon.
$230 picked up for the wheels plus $390 picked up for the tires..

Tires are brand new and wheel paint is still curing, no tire shine is fine
One on the rear was there when I got it
but the front was my doing... if you notice the pass. side mirror is kind of hanging off, some tards cracked the housing, I fixed it finally like a week ago and then one of the moron kids in our car group re-broke it being a jackass a day later

Like 5 coats of primer
3 coats of color (2 light and 1 "medium wet" as directed on the can)
3 coats of clear in the same fashion
Some douchecanoe at the car wash I took it to decided to pressure wash the wheels after I told 'em not to and now I have a nice big ol' chip of paint missing... luckily I fished the paint out of the trash though...
