Just Picked Up My New Rims And Tires
A local performance shop had a sale on today, so I went down and bought some new rims and tires for my Red P5. Got some Polished / White Axis NEO rims, wrapped in Kumoh P205/40/R15 rubber. The tread pattern on the tires is really good for grabbing the roads in summer. A "V" shape, like Toyos. Can't wait 'till all this gravel and **** gets swept away so I can actually put them on!
All for $1700 CAN even... Hope I didn't go wrong.

lol, 15's ? And you paid $1700 cnd, that works out to about $1078 usd. Dude you got bent over. And why only 15's. I mean the car come stock with 16's. I got my Enkei 17" RS6's with Nitto 205/40/17's, and H&R sport springs for $1150 usd. Hmm oh well man its your ride, if you happy well...

Well, as you can see, the long hours have shown again. I was running on about 4 hours of sleep when I wrote that!
The tires are Kumho Ecsta Supra P205/40ZR/17. The rims are the Axis NEO Polished / White 17's.
Hope this clears everything up, and sorry for the mix up!

The wheels have been paid for, but aren't in for another two weeks. The tires are in a stack in my garage at the moment. Even when I do get the wheels in, I'll have them mounted an balanced, but I'm weary about putting them on until all this gravel gets swept off the roads up here.
Still though, I'll at least put them on, wash the car, take a few pics, post them, and then put the stockers back on.

Bruce, yep that's how we do stuff up her in Alberta!
Andrew, sounds like a nice setup, just make sure you're not going to be rubbing on anything. On wider tires, you've got to watch the sidewall height on the springs. If you look closely you can see that they're already pretty close, so just watch out for that. If you're going 18"s, what sizes are you gonna do for rubber? Also, have you been getting any of my ICQ messages? I've sent you quite a few, and recieved a few, but when I reply I never get a response. Is there a problem on my end or yours?

I know of pretty much every shop here in town, but those are the best of the bunch. If you'd like more info, you can PM me.
