Finally! New wheels and tires are on!
My wife bought these 16x9 Borbet wheels off ebay for me last Christmas. The tires are Sumitomo 245/45/16s on the front and 255/50/16s out back. I had to use Baer Billet wheels spacers and ARP studs to make it all fit right but it's a long coming update from the old '80's wheels that were on before. The pics are nothing fancy, just some quick shots I snapped in the driveway one day after work.

They're made by Borbet, a German company.I like the wheels, what kind are they?
Yes, I wish I'd done this years sooner! I would like it a hair lower in the rear though. If I had to do it again I'd probably use the same size tire in the back as I did in the front since they're nearly the same width only not so tall.Wow, what a dramatic difference they make. It gives the car a really nice stance.
