    Got a set of 18x9 black saleen (replicas) with 245/45/18 goodyear F1's! They're used so im meeting at a tire place to make sure they're good on the balancer and they don't have any wobbles or anything to them. And yes, I know ill need to lower it, prob gonna go ahead with some ssc springs, and new struts, prob agx's.

    Everyones gotta buy new tires eventually! Tires wear, some faster than others.....and seeing there used I don't expect the world outta them anyways. I've had f1's before and I liked them. Personal opinion and preference I suppose. Depends on the maintenance of ur vehicle obviously also, struts, alignment, etc would greatly reduce the life span of the tire as well.

    Looking forward to seeing pics and I'm sure they will look fine regardless. Why in the **** would you want to tuck rims on a GP? Hella flush and VIP stance is seriously probably the stupidest thing you can do to a vehicle.

    they're gonna stick out a little. some people like it, some people dont. im on the latter half of that spectrum.

    they do look good, dont get me wrong. i just wish they were a higher offset than they are so they'd tuck a little more into the fenders.

    Yeah, for some reason I like that look on these cars. Tucking is cool too on some chit, im used to being around the low rider scene and body dropped trucks sitting on the ground tuckin so much tire its comin out the hood. Lol but I like the stance that these give. Like I said, its all just personal preference.

    Chrome isn't my style, plus I found a good deal on these and the seller was nearby. Not the best pic but you get the idea. Once weather clears up a bit and I can get some decent shots with a clean car ill get better ones.

    Lol, yeah. I don't drive it much. If they were chrome I def wouldn't put em on because of chrome flaking, pitting, etc. I think these might hold up a lil better. Like I said, it sits more than it drives. And I clean it any chance I get. The price of these w/tires was less then I would've paid for new tires on my bullitts which were shot. But yeah, I would normally wait til spring or so to put them on, but I know they wont get messed up........plus my lack of patience is incredible!! Lmao
