Hey Guys,

Just wanted to post a picture of my rims I picked up last week for my RA It actually looka a lot better in real life as the pic fails to capture the true Titanium/ alloy look.
I love it! and what a difference it makes from the stock wheels So far I have gotten some glares and stares

Hmm, Tenzo Type M's. They would look much better with a nice drop. What are your wheel specs?

Yea I know it could use a drop but for now its a major improvement from its original alloys that are destined for snow tires

Thanks. There are 18" x 7.5" and 45mm off set. When these original tires are done I think I can go with a slightly taller taller and a lower profile but I would be limited and could use a drop.

Got em for $ 800.00 CAD all in.

If u have dedicated snow tires, probably good not to lower it, unless you want to unwillingly become a plow.

How can you go taller, and have a lower profile?

If that's what 18's look like I should almost go with 19 inch. Not to be retarded but can someone explain to me why aftermarket 18 X 7.5" wheels look so much different than the stock 18 X 7.5" wheels? Most pictures I've seen of aftermarket 18's make the stock suspension Ralliart look like you just put 16's or 17's on it.

the off-set that puts the wheel further out.

So he got wheels with a 45mm offset and the stock wheels I believe are 48mm. 3mm makes that bike of a difference?

Stlll learning about these off set tires sizes.....can I not go to a bigger tire than the one I have? Currently I have 215x45x18

I was thinking of 225x40x18. Not a major difference but still bigger.
