Of course... as soon as I can locate where to buy the Nitto 555R 305/40/18 tires I'll be ordering them and installing the new rims. BTW - my rims were delivered in only 5 days for $14.95 for all 4. Some places will do free shipping but the rims are more. Just an fyi if you are looking at the magnum 500's.

Does anyone think these would look good on a vista blue? I can't decide. I can get a killer deal on these right now ($1032 for 4 18x9s with Falken FK-452 275/40-18 mounted, balanced, shipped) but can't decide if they would look good on vista

Looks great man! I have my tires and finally installed them on the car. I have 305/40/18 drag radials on the rear, and 275/40/18 on the front. I'll post pics this weekend on another thread. What size tires are you running on your 18x9's?

seconding this, I've heard everything from 23-29 pounds. A definitive answer would rock.

I actually like your original idea of Chrome Saleens (SN95 style).

Probably won't be the most popular choice, but I ended up buying some Asa AR1s in 18x9s with 275/40-18 Falken FK-452s. Will post pics soon. I got a nice discount on the wheels and I like them a lot from what I've seen. They're fairly cheap and fairly light (~ 23 lbs) for 18x9s, and I wanted something that would be good for light autox/track duty. Should be getting them mounted soon, will post up pics. Thanks for the suggestions!

here's a sample pic, although this car is sonic instead of vista, but you get the idea.

Either steeda pentars or the ct-r/gt4 wheels are the best looking imo. They also fit most or all big brake kits if you eer upgrade.

I have black 18x9's of these on my ride, absolutely love them. I'm glad I bought them when I did, since the website now shows they only have chrome 18x9's in stock. I'm sure calling them would be a good idea if anyone wants black or gunmetal, or 18x10's in any color.

I'm wondering if they're even still in business. I emailed them twice in the last couple weeks and no reply. That plus nearly everything on their site being out of stock does make one wonder.
