Springs are 1 year old now, should be good and settled. Front springs have the lower isolator removed to give a little rake.

Wheels replaced the Elbrus wheels in my avatar. the elbrus wheels clearcoat was flaking, and at $79 a wheel these moda's were cheaper than refinishing the elbrus wheels.

Tires were carryover from my elbrus package. Not the best tires I've had, certainly not the worst. Price was right.

Wheels are heavy, and you can feel it, as are most of the chinese pos wheels from tire rack.. Not sure I like them myself yet.. LOL.. The elbrus wheels were embarassing, the finish lasted 2 years and started flaking bad..
 
Oh, offset is +42mm..

Found a local guy selling a brand new set of polished pontiac torrent GXP wheels, they are a lot lighter, but only 18x7.. Might be ok, as the new Michelin Pilot Super Sports are only $165ish a tire in a 225/50/18 (same overall height as 245/45/18)..
 


Looks good man! I have the same ones on the 04. Bought them a year ago though so it was before they went on closeout. Wish I had the spare coin, I'd get 17's for the Regal.

They honestly look better on your car than my car, LOL.. How is the finish holding up on them?

Thanks for sharing the pic,

Finish is good. I put them away for the winter and put the stockers back on. They've really only been through a few washes.
