Default My New 18" Rim's & Tires

I finally put tires on the 18" Saleen replica rim's i bought a year ago.
Tires are the new Nitto Invo's, sizes are 275-35-18 and 295-35-18.
Not the cheapest of the bunch but Nitto didn't make 295's in in the 555's.
Their also quiet and wet traction is as good as dry.
I've only put about 200 miles on them but so far i'm pretty satisfied with them.

very odd in deed, now I understand why it took you a whole year to mount them! I would change the center caps out

Looks nice wonder about the tread pattern could be for better wet traction.
