Great set. Not my specific preference, but to each his own. At least they match very nicely, great job. As for the rubber......

Get 245/40R18's next time, much better. They dont make g-forces in 235/40, which they should, but the 245 is a better fitment, sizing, diameter etc. But, looks great, good luck!

apexeight - hehe a lot more than $1200 for the set. The tires were $195 each and the rims were $260 each. The whole deal cost me about $1850.

HxIIxman - I have to get some pics of the car on the road. Don't have any now. Took these after just washing the car.

I might get HIRO or CE28N in GunMetal... but still looking around.

feldguy - I would have gotten the bigger ones, but my money was running out fast. I need tires and could not spring the extra couple of $20s for the bigger ones. I was that tight on cash at the time. I will spring for them next time after these go out on me after probably 15K miles.

the reverbs are just sweet. those are the wheels i will be purchasing for my SRT-4 in the near future. They look awesome on your Evo man, especially with the drop. Im going to get Tein Coilovers, F/R Strut Bar, F/R Sway Bar, new bushings, and the wheels you have. Those look amazing on a black car!

That looks great...but what happend to your brembo? It's all scratched the F up? Did they send you the wrong size and you had to send them back for the right one or what? (Refering to the second pic)

The messup on the Brembo was from an incident with the stock rim.
