    Those were 255/55/18 KDW2s on the rear that I had for a while.

    The size difference isn't noticeable to me.

    BFgoodrich KDW-2 255/55-18 (wish they still made this size) They defenitly help give the MM more of a muscle car stance rake and fill up the rear wheel well better.

    First pic is from last week, no shiney stuff on wheels. Second 2 are from 2 days ago. Kumho ecsta stx's. Ride great, look great, grip great. Can't wait to get rid of the craptastic BFG's on the front.

    Stock MM wheels.

    Elbow grease, claybar, and wax.

    Or, the lazy man's way..... don't forget that you can use Turtle Wax Ice on them when you polish the rest of the car with it.

    I am sure fastblackmerc's are shinier though. I just don't have the time to put into it.

    I use the Ice detail spray to keep 'em shiney.
