Just picked these up used from craigslist. Got a heck of a deal with good tires. They are 18x8.
I love the way they look silver but they are a little beat up and I just can't abandon the storm trooper look so they will be going black.
But heres some pics for now:
I like the ones in your sig much better than these. Maybe they will look better painted?

i dont like those
JBOK.org / J-Bodies of Kentucky
Forgot one:
And a big pic of the old wheels:
I really like the old ones too but, I paid $200 for these with good tires. Gonna leave them silver for a little bit and decide if I like them they are going black.
I did notice a huge difference in the performance from the 17s to the 18s though.
So, far I absolutely love them!
good tire don't matter when they are the wrong size. I like the old wheels more
Well, its a good thing they are 225/40/18 then.
Seems you need to recalibrate your eye.
Yeah, the center cap says something different. But, theres a Mille Miglia stamp on the inside.
Thanks!
i like them too! perhaps more once painted...
i guess i agree as well, the old wheels are SHARP!
no complaints either way...different strokes for different folks.
nice goin on the find dude!
Do bigger rims really make you accelerate faster? I thought it wouldn't matter if you have the proper tires for 18's 215 or 225.
there decent! old ones ftw tho!

You know, you can't really find those Mille Miglia's any more. Mainly because those wheels have been discontinued as far as I have been able to google.

paint em black or Bronze. then you'll be in business.
If those are 225/40did you change your suspension from what you had in your sig? The car did look good, it had a nice stance, looked aggressive..... and now it doesn't
The stance does look different than with the old rims, thats weird. I like the old rims better tho.

The size of the rim has nothing to do with it. Its the extra weight of the 18 and being wider that slows the car down and makes handling worse.

Nope, same suspension. Maybe it just hadn't settled after being jacked up?
I think its just the pics and the tires are pretty dirty. I'll get some new pics once I get it cleaned up.
Thanks!

They're
They look great man, much better than those black wheels. Nice find.
Car used to look really damm good with the black rims. Now, not so much. Bad move on the rim choice...
Hmm, seems to be pretty even for likes and dislikes.
I still like them. I think they'll look amazing blacked out.

The size of the rim has nothing to do with it.
if the overall diameter of the wheel/tire combo gets larger, this is false. the moment of inertia is larger in a larger diameter wheel, thus it is more resistant to change in motion/ acceleration.
