My New Wheels/tires

Well they are FINALLY on the car......I love them.....NOW all I really need to do is a suspension upgrade and lower that bad boy!! I know the picture is kind of crappy...but the wheels didn't go on the car till after dark so I was forced to take a pic in the garage.....in case you don't know what they are....they are Rota Battles, and they are sporting Yokohama ES 100's in 215/40/17.

Looking BAD as Always Sir Nuke! Very Impressive. I know how you felt, when I got my new rims and tires I wanted to put them on right away too. Even if that meant stay up all night long. Car looks fantastic!

WOW! Looks Awesome Sir Nuke! I really like the rims and you can't help but love that tiny strip of rubber :)

Let us know how you like the tires.

Hows the ride?
 
Hey your car looks cool with those rims on i like it. Hey what series tyres are those, they look like 35 series tyres to me. I put a set of 40 series tyres on mine and i found the ride alright, then i got i lowered by 2.5 inches and found the ride a lot worse. depends what kind of roads you go on. When are you going to lower the beast? it will look sic when ya do it.

I plan to....just need to make up my mind which springs and whether or not I am going to do it myself or pay someone to do it.

I am with ya Eggy...as that is what I am going to install..Eibach's. Talked with Rishie for a while and after my research...and his confirmation of what I have learned...that seems to be the direction I am going to go. Just need to wait another payday or two and then I am off and running.....I also decided to do the work myself as there is NO shop anywhere near me that I would EVER trust my car too. SO, I will do the install...and then take it to my dealer and have the alignment checked.

Wheels look great, nuke! And don't worry about the spring install, should be very easy on the newer cars (read: not rust-assed bolts) hehehe... Take some more pics when you have a chance
