Here are a couple pictures of my new wheels and tires I got from Discount Tire. I was extremely pleased with the service I got. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for other mods and/or comments in general. Thanks...

Car looks great. Those are some pretty light wheels, too.

I'd suggest getting the windows tinted. It looks like you already lowered it, did you?

 

Yeah, I have the TRD lowering springs in it. I am going to get some tint work done, but am having some trouble figuring out exactly what the law reads in NY as far as this goes. Thanks for your comments, yeah those are the Konig Feather wheels. I ended up going with 15's because the roads in and around Albany are terrible and I bent my old ones.

 

I like the feathers...

According to tintlaws.com, you're allowed 70% front and back and a 6" visor on the windshield... 70% is almost nothing though, so if you're gonna tint it at a good level, appearance wise, you're not gonna be legal.

 

Tire Wet!

 

love the wheels - i say get a intake , i got mine off of ebay and it sounds great in the mid and high rpm

 

f##k the law!! go with 20% on the back and 35% on the front. most of the time the only way the cops will mess with you is if you realy cross the line. its like speeding.... 10 over is ok. just put your tippy toe over the line.
i would say it would look alot better a little lower, don't slam it, im takin about tein s-tecks or NF210s.

 

hell in NY i slammed my focus on Eibach springs and drove it everywhere. nobody gave me anything for it. i didnt know their was any "rules" about it.

i know in MA, your only allowed to alter the suspension of a road going vehicle 2 inches. so check wiht your local law enforcement. no harm in asking!

What part of NY? i use to live in Rockland county, just 15 minutes north of the city

 

I am from Albany. The tint is what I am checking into. I heard that they just passed a law that requires all 4 door vehicles to treat the back doors like the front and remove tint from them. Therefore on the XA only the hatch and rear two windows could be tinted. I settled on the TRD springs because I like the stiffer ride and the lowered look. If it wasnt for potholes and heaving roads from the snow and ice I would love to drop it a bit more, but I value my under side of the car to much...

 

I really like the feathers; I'm considering buying some black ones for my rs3. Did you put them on your stock tires? If so, did you have to buy hubcentric rings and lugs? Really what I'm asking is if you had to buy other things besides just the rims, if you just put them on your stock tires.

 

I am not using stock tires, I am using 195/60r15 tires. So a bit larger than stock. I ended up ordering the rings, wheels, lug nuts and a set of all season tires shipped for $650.... I paid extra for the rings and lugs, but I like ordering them all together and having the peace of mind that everything fit.

 

Righto, mi amigo. That price isn't TOO bad for the rims and all. Looks VERY nice.

 

nice rims, i like your set up

 

Thanks, I tried to mod while keeping it as a Northeast daily driver.

 

look good , need to be larger and ya need a drop
