sold my focal f5's yesterday and came home and ordered the Kazera KZ-V in 18x7 with the Sumitomo HTR+ 215/35/18. The only thing that sucks is they said the rims won't accept the metal style valve stem. Oh well. Hopefully I should have them by thursday at the latest.

Today I was surprised to get a call from Tire Rack for 2 reasons, to confirm my order and verify it with the shipping address and to make sure the size tire I ordered is what I really wanted because the guy thought the 40 series would be better. But after talking to CY, I just need to have the appropriate pressure to accomodate the load capacity. Anyway, will post pics when I get them.

Wow, next day shipping. And when tracking them, it appears they have left the fedex site already. Talk about fast service. hopefully since they are coming from deleware I might see them tomorrow since I am in Maryland. doubt it, but one can always hope!

Very cool!

Definitely post pics when you get them. I'm dying to see what the 18's will look like.

Well here they are, Kazera KZ-V 18x7, 45mm offset wrapped in Sumitomo HTR+ 215/35/18. I could have gone with a 215/40/18 and even maybe a 215/45/18 if they make it. But the 40 series was considerably more expensive. They are the silver with polished lipped. I will take more when it is sunny out. This was at dusk.

BTW, if you haven't dealt with tirerack before, they have the best customer service I have ever had..right up there with Tony at new edge performance. Anyway, I had 2 rims that had to be returned. 1 Fedex damaged and the other had a very minor flaw, but I am picky so I wanted them replaced. No questions asked they were picked up the next day and the following day I had my replacements.

Oh, and what a difference a quality tire makes in ride comfort. I was very worried about going 35 series and in 18's, but these tires ride 100% smoother and feel softer going over bumps than the stock conti's did. Very impressive!

Very nice Jason. Had no idea they where going to look that good! Nice a bad choice for a mustang guy.

Dayum, I was just looking at those, 18's on tirerack. How do the tires handle. I was looking at the perelli's. Very sweet looking ride!!!

I think the tires are awesome. but I only can compare them to the stock conti's which are crap. They ride much better. I am not sure about rain or snow yet.
