So, Friday I went and got Nitto 285/40-18's for the back and 255/45-18s for the front. I have had the black fr500s in my garage for a couple of weeks now. As for the looks, I couldn't be happier. The car looks a million times better.

Also the tires made a huge difference on the road. A lot smoother ride and the grip is awesome. I don't have to worry as much when cornering hard or flooring it. My car is definitely faster since I am not burning out the whole time. I recommend these tires to anyone! Well here are some pictures. Enjoy.

P.S. Burn out video is coming with old rims/tires on the rear. I am trying to find someone with a camera.

I really like the look of FR500s, but for some reason I've never been a big fan of them on S197s.. Not sure if it's the style that doesn't go with the car to me, or if it's because they're 18s and this body style seems to benefit from larger diameter wheels. Better than stock! Just my opinion of course.

You make your own decals as in you have the right equipment to do it?

Looks great man!

My only suggestions are to at least paint your calipers now... and maybe get some drilled/slotted rotors soon.

Lookin' good!
