New wheels for my GG coupe! Pics inside!

galaxycivic · 06-20-2006, 11:10 PM

These are my WedsSport TC005 18x7.5 with Yokohama AVS ES 100 tires. I just installed them a few hours ago. Here are some quick pics, It was getting dark but I will take better ones this weekend. Let me know what you think.
I did notice that it does pull slightly to the right when driving now. And I know for a fact that it didn't do this with the stock wheels. Could this have something to do with the directional tread pattern on the tires?

thats the type of rim, depending on how you look at it, it looks different. like the srt4 wheels

anyone feel the same way?

Looks GREAT

Get you some black lugs on there, it will look so much better

Thanks everybody! Any ideas on why it has a slight pull to the right since I put the wheels on? I don't think using a floorjack to raise up the car will mess with the alignment so I'm leaning tward radial pull as the problem.

Nice wheels buddy. I would make sure that all the lug nutts are tighten and that the wheels were balanced properly.

Nice

No problem there. I double checked all of the lug nuts and the car drives smooth with no vibrations, It just wants to wander to the right a little. I guess if it gets any worse i'll take it in and have the alignment checked. Other than that, the wheels are great and I am very happy with them.

Just swapping out the rims should not have any effect on your alignment so there really is no reason for the car to pull to the right unless maybe your tire pressure is higher on one side of the car then it is on the other. That would make ever so slight of a difference.

BTW, rims look great.
