The V35 wheels are nice, but the BBS are outstanding.

Yeah! Too bad they are not the 18" wheels. That would be a nice, classy yet aggressive look!

Of course, I should mention that the six spoke wheels look great too ... I guess I am just a fan of the BBS look!

I liked the BBS while I lived in Houston, but since moving to the GulfCoast, the air is different, which caused corrosion and pitting and makes them impossible to keep clean (unless you clean em' everyday). Heck, all the aluminum (cast?) brackets on the 95 Mustang engine (thats in the 85 F150) look like crap now. Rust grows like crazy down here...

I like the look of a black Q45t with tinted windows, lowered with eibachs, and the BBS wheels

I do like those 6 spoke wheels though. VERY nice! Looks great, you done good!

Those wheels are 18x8, 30mm offset, front and rear. They are marked "front" and "rear", but the ony difference I can find is the center caps on the fronts fit more to the inside of the wheel by about 1/16".

Thanks to all the suggestions before I bought the wheels/tires, and all the compliments after. That dang Wes with his wheels, got me started on this anyway!!! :-)

Thanks again to all that contributed..........

245/45/18 Avon 550's......so far, so good. They soak up the warning strips better than the other tires but they were gettin old, as for potholes and bumps, the roads around here are like glass, so I can't make a judgement on that yet....:-)
