Started it up and watched my husband drive off with it. Finally hearing my Roush exaust going down the rode. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! A female coworker, that used to have a Cobra and gave it up, wanted to hear the exhaust. She now wants the 2015. lol. This is the first time he has driven it with the new exhaust and the first time hearing from inside the car. Can't wait to see if he likes it or thinks it is too loud. He has sensitive ears.

Thanks so much guys... I really wish it was warm out and no snow on the ground so I can mount these babies tonight. Sadly I have 3 months to WAIT to drive her . So I might put them on just for a photo op, then take it out again lol. You don't want them sitting for an extended period of time with a soft compound rating.

Thanks guys. I absolutely love them. New wheels and tires never exposed to dirt look so nice, laying on living room floor

Tires are 255 35 20 and 305 35 20.

They're so fricking wide. Never had them this wide before. I had my son pose to show it's wider than his body

Also, as an early Xmas gift, my wife got me 3 new canvas picture frames of Marilyn, along with chocolate lava cake. . I'm too lucky.

Ahem!...

Btw the new wheels look amazing. I love that finish. I'm trying to get my buddy to buy them. He wants to wrap his Charger matte black and he's pretty much sold on these, but he wants the all black ones. I'm trying to convince him these will look better.

Thanks Patrick... they looked great in pics online/etc, but in person, they're even better. The tinted clearcoat gives that classy/sporty look. Better than all black, imo. It's almost bronzy, but not quite.

I think they only come in silver and the black machined... obviously, mine is the black machined.

That's the only two finishes they show online also, but I believe they used to come in an all matte black. I could be confusing them with the Stance or Vossen versions of these, but I remember seeing the Niche logo on the spoke.

Either way, I'm trying to get him to go this route. His car is metallic black now, with red interior. I'm trying to convince him to wrap it matte metallic gunmetal, with gloss black grille and emblems, gloss black calipers, and these wheels.
