For what size, & what tire? Mine were 750 shipped (669 before shipping) for 17" Flik Lex, & 215 40 R17 Hankook HRII tires.

And, you may want to consider powdercoating your wheels a different color. The finish quality will be top notch if done by a reputable shop, and it will be a lot more durable than paint.

 

Ok, the wheels and tires came. They got the order right this time, and even threw in a T-Shirt for my troubles. I bolted the wheels and tires up, and tried it out. It is too cold here for seeing what the grip is like, but I can assure you that they got the balancing right. In fact, the roads were clear to day on my ride into work, and the ride was like butter. No steering wheel shake, no rumble. In the end, it worked out ok. It was worth the wait. And, they did get it right. I will post pics soon. Truthfully, there are many things new to the car since I posted pics of it in the garage, so I have to take a lot of photos. Trust me when I say that it looks killer.

 

Good to hear.

 

Pics posted in the garage, for anyone who is curious.

lookin' good!

 

Very nice. I like the rims a lot, nice choice.
Ugh, what's that white stuff!?

 

Thank-you for the compliment.
You mean to tell me that there is no snow on the ground in PA? Here, the high is in the twenties, low in the single digits!

 

It was 65 here yesterday. Haven't had anything but a dusting and some flurries so far this year. The ground isn't even that frozen yet. I'm rather disappointed.

 

Okay, my luck sucks, frankly. My fiance decided to order me some CF Altezza tail lamps for my car off of E-Bay for my Birthday (which you will notice is coming up, on 02/07). Anyhow, the confirmation e-mail says, "Congratulations! You've won.... for a Protege5" in so many words. Protege5 is ALL OVER that confirmation e-mail. The picture on the auction was that of CF Protege5 Altezzas.

So, imagine my great surprise when the box shows up today at work, and the tail lamps inside are for a 99-03 Protege sedan! I am going to attempt to return them, and have the seller send me the correct ones. But, there is a small problem. The seller is no longer a registered E-Bay user. Yikes. With a rating of almost 97% based on more than 1000 sales, though, I suspect he/she is honest, and will turn things around. Therefore, I have promised to withhold judgement until the situation is resolved. Who knows, if it is resolved quickly and conveniently, I might just post a favorable rating. After all, if anything is becoming more apparent to me through all of this, its that everyone makes mistakes. And somehow, my car is still getting mods.

 

You are just having all kinds of luck. I hope you don't have this problem if you buy anything in Japan!!
