These things blow the R888's away as far as traction goes. I'll have to decide on a 345x18 tire.

Cold temp make any tire tough to hook at my power level.........can see yours being worse
I ran my MTs at 35psi hot on the road I run the below on the back of my 97' with 18 x 12 HRE's for full time street duty, sticky tire and meant for carving You can always tub it and stuff a 345 in there but a 335 will give the same traction |

That'll look great. I think it'll be a nice change up from the flat black classics.

Mrs. WKMCD saw a set of chrome wheels on one if my friends cars and really liked them. I'll blame here when they come in. You're right though, it will be a nice change up. I think the 500's are more hot-rod than some of their other wheels.

Rejex them good when you first get them and it should alleviate some of the polishing.

OK, but I'm not sliding along the garage floor like those boys on tv do.
Funny thing........ever since then, I've double checked the lugs when I take a wheel off.

I never use my TW to take bolts/lugs/nuts off. I got bigger hammers for that.
