Not bad! Funny how much new wheels can really change the look of an already fine Kappa.

I'll post mine later this week. Getting mine installed sometime this week. I need to take some more shots before I change them out.

New Wheels

Got em' yesterday.......brand is Pulse, style P3. 18X7.5, 45 offset, kept stock tires. Replaced stock painted wheels with chrome, hoping easy to keep clean.

Details about rims & tires are in my signature below. Rims clean up very easily--no nooks and bolt recesses for brake dust to hide. Nice deep dish rim flange.

Very open look but factory rotors look too small in diameter--crying for 13" slotted rotors. One day someone will come out with a caliper mounting bracket that will relocate the factory caliper so as to accomodate a 13" or so rotor and not have to buy those expensive after market calipers.

Like those Baer EradiSpeed kits for SUV's and full size pickups--large rotors with brackets in one kit.

So why don't we see any 18 x 9 wheels? My top priority is performance, then looks, so I'd like something that could hold 275/40R18's.

Anyone see 18 x 9's anywhere?

Thanks!
Russ

You already know your rims are my fav so far! How did you get them to fit I did a search and did not see the bolt pattern for ours.
