So I am heading on a road trip to the southern US for a week and a half very shortly, and since I don't commute in my car, I figured I'd save my Gislaved Nordfrost 5's some grief droning down interstate highways. I threw these on an hour and a half ago. My parents have just left for Florida a few days ago and they took my camera, since they dropped theirs in the Pacific Ocean.

I do Apologize for the quality, and the lighting. I didn't even want to shut the car off as I was tired, so there is some glare from headlights/tail lights. Pics were taken with my old school Blackberry Curve LOL. My bad...

I am pleased with the offset as this is not an auto X weekend warrior. This setup look nice and OEM, and The wheel gap is no where near as bad as I expected...and these have to settle a bit, I literally dropped it off the jack, re-torqued all 4 wheels to be sure and shot around the corner to a parking lot.

No I am not going to lower it...I know someone is gonna say it! LOL.

I knew you couldn't wait! Looks great.

Now when you get back, you'll have to detail them all over again for the next season.:chuckle

You know I will...I hate polishing and waxing rims in the summer when they're still on your car...takes for EVER lol.

I will have better pictures when my Pirate mom gets back with my camera. Unfortunately that will be a week from now, I might use my GF's camera this weekend in Kingston to snap a few for you guys.

Looks really good dude!!!

Looks OEM at first, but makes you turn your head because you cant quite figure out why it's so sexy.

Very nice, how is the handling with the wider rubbers?

I haven't been out much other than around my neighborhood. It is too cold to judge the grip. You can defly tell that the ride is stiffer, and cornering is helped alot by the shorter sidewall for sure. Negatives would be that the rims are heavier than my winter steelies lol. Overall it is a plus. Cornering is very direct, but turn in is a little slower than I'd like.

Looks really good, the 2010s need 18" on them, the stock 17" look so small.

I really am gonna need some Rally Armor flaps, especially on the back. We need them to come out with a kit for 2010 GT's FAST!
