haha, the best I could do with them next to my car...haha....remember, the car is pushing down on the stock ones so these tires do fit, they just have no weight on them

Nice rims, why didnt you go for the 18's....btw, those tires are awesome....worth the money
I didn't want 18s. I like the 17s for this car......but I also came from having a truck with 225/75/14s so 17s are HUGE to me...haha
I just liked this style and wanted to keep a stock look to the car. I'm excited about the rubber :)
1_kLEan_tC 03-23-2007, 02:28 AM I love those tires....

guitarguru44 03-23-2007, 02:45 AM yea, nice.. those are good tires but they wear pretty fast. I guess it's the price you pay..
gforce FTW
chrischoi 03-23-2007, 02:53 AM why do they sit out so far?it looks like a truck.

Eh, it's my summer setup so they'll last me a good bit......I don't race much at all and if i do, i'll switch to my old rims/tires............winte time i'm getting Blizzarks on the stockers and might buy 2 rims and get drag radials to keep just for the track
megrog2 03-23-2007, 07:17 PM So they just shipped them with a piece of cardboard on the face of the wheels, no box or anything huh :loser: . But those wheels do look awesome.
Yup.....two pieces of cardboard and foam on the face of the rim. Hey, they got to me with 0 scratches so I don't mind. They also gave me a lifetime warranty against defects. The guys at Discount tire direct are great and very helpful.
where did you get those from ?
kanundrum 03-23-2007, 07:26 PM Good stuff man. Those tires are realllly great for them turns :D

captainlaziness 03-23-2007, 07:30 PM That's pretty sharp. Same offset as the stockies or no?
tC4italy 03-23-2007, 07:36 PM troppo fighi!!! :clap:
Not sure about autoX.
they are a 38 offset.
insanetc 03-23-2007, 09:23 PM nasty tires..love them..how much did u pay if u don tmind me askin..i was quoted $425 for all for tires..for my hp's 18x8
These tires were 130 a piece for 225/45/17....cheapest I could find on any site and at some tire vendors in my area. The rest were around 150+.
bcnu_702 03-25-2007, 06:22 AM Yeah those tires look mean. Nice rims as well, go good with your car!

They will be :)....gonna put them on mid/late April so I'm just waiting for the snow/salt to not be anywhere in the forecast.
tC4italy 03-26-2007, 02:54 PM that's what I'm doing ;)
that's what I'm doing ;)
I sat and took about 30 minutes yesterday and polished 1 wheel :)....Used some Eagle 1 rim protectant (corrosion resistant). Made sure to get every part of it and then realized I still had 3 more to do....haha.....my hand was sore so I'll do them maybe within the next 2 weeks. I want these baby's to be CLEAN!. I'm going to take the stockers off and degress/clean them thoroughly as well. Those are going to be sparkling going into storage in my basement (humidity controlled :) )

actually man, since the wheels have a clear coat, what I usually do is wax em with the same type of products I use to wax my car, they last a whole lot longer then any normal tire product I have tried. Give it a shot!
^nice...............after i put the polish on them, I'll wax them :)
