Default Pics of my xA with my new wheels.

I just figured out that I can upload a few pics in the gallery (I'm a little slow sometimes :oops: ). Anyhow, here they are:

LOL...Oh man!!! I really wish you hadn't shown me that! I live in the northeast (snow) so I'm not going to lower it. I knew it would look better if I did, but I didn't want to sacrifice ride and ground clearance. That does look good though!

Drop It!!!!!! You get used to it after a while!!! Get Eibachs where the front is only lowered 1.6 inches and the rear is 2.

Nice wheels Though the mob has spoken, it's screaming for a drop!

Just noticed your xA is pretty damn clean... mine is dirty as it can get with all the rain and crap on the roads lately. Poor panda...

DING-DING-DING...We have a winner! Yep, I got the whole package (rims, tires, lug nuts and rings) from discounttiredirect.com for $701 with free shipping. Plus, I just sold my original tires and rims last night for $195, so my entire investment was only $505 for everything. They are 16" X 7" 5Zigen Fighters in Titanium Bronze with Falken Ziex ZE-512 in 205/50R16. I'm real happy with all of it. I agree that it would look even better lowered. But I'm probably not going to do it for the same reason I chose 16s instead of 17s.....lousy PA roads and snow.

ahhh falken the copy cat tire company lol they love to copy other brands tread patterns. i love the exact copy of my beloved yoko avs es100's not lol. good tire for the money tho.porbably a really ____ty tire for snow tho. u may wanna be really careful the tread pattern on that tire isnt designed for snow at all. be careful unless u wanna go spinning uncontrollably or just never get traction.

I guess I'll find out. The Falken Ziex ZE-512 that I got were rated #1 by consumer reports and about 8 or 9 people on epinions.com all gave them great reviews. I hope I'm as happy with mine.
