Default got my new tires and rims

Well to my surprise Tuesday night I came home from work to find these



Can't wait to get these on my car, as my stock tires are crap. Decided to also upgrade the rims (went with an 18inch). Going to probably be putting these on this weekend; will definitely be posting pics once it's done. Also going to put my rear sway on and an oil change at the same time. Here are some more teaser pics.

Sorry for taking so long to get these things on the car. Here pics of my 18inch Kosei Rims wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 All Seasons.









I know what you are all thinking......Lower the car. Well it's been thought about, but with the terrible roads I have to deal with every day, not sure if it's the best idea. For now I have to pay off these.

Trust me, I want to lower this thing, but with dropping about 1500 on these new shoes I need to calm down for a bit. Going to focus on sound deadening for the moment, then once these tires/rims are paid for I will be looking at a drop. Going to end up getting the TRD shocks/struts and hopefully with white springs (although I know they are tough to find)

Yes, the rims are silver. Was hoping to find the TRD springs in white though when I do eventually do go for the Struts/Shocks (I'm liking the red/white combo)

hey drax- not to get too far off subject, but how do the F1 all seasons ride? try to
describe how it rides with them. I was thinking they might be really hard riding
(smashing into any crevice or bump). let me know.. thanks

they ride great, but my tc isn't the best example, all the suspension upgrades i have, my tc rides very rough, especially with the suspension bushings, sway bars and trd struts.

when i bought them off tire rack, it said that they might ride rough because of the higher load rating, but i have found them to be very smooth and handle extremely well in the wet and the dry.

i was worried that i might catch myself offguard going from summer tires to all season tires, maybe taking a turn too quickly or accelerating too hard away from a stop, but so far they have been surprisingly grippy, and i find them to be very communicative when it comes to letting you know when they are on the edge of losing their drip through a fast bend or in a corner.
