Check this out! I bought 18x7.5 Nex-o wheels and Hankook 106 tire pkg. (215-35-18). Wheels are gunmetal with polished lip, 4 hole specific instead of multi-hole fitment. Each wheel and tire weigh 3 lbs. less than s-heavies in stock 17" size 44 vs. 47lbs. They ride as good or better than the 17" runflats. I ordered on a Friday and received them on the following Wednesday in Michigan from Miami. Got them from Wheelmax; very hesitant on ordering from them because of some comments on this forum. They were very informative and even knew I needed special 14mm lug bolts as my car is a late 06. The best thing about this setup is I put the car up over 100 mph and they are rock solid smooth with no vibration in any speed range, unlike almost every other wheel package I've ever gotten. Total cost with their instant rebate was 925.00 at my door. Click on my gallery to view my ride. The photos don't really do the wheels justice; the gunmetal is very metallic and the finish is flawless. If you have any questions cotact miniviper!
