so was it hell getting those sizes on stock wheels or are they a nice fit? Got any pics by chance? I might just go back to OE with the Azenis, sell my wheels and get some gears.

 

Tires were already on the car when I bought it, (and about 95% tread at that... can we say "oops i didn't pull out fast enough"???) so I can't say how hard they were to install. They fit the rims perfectly though, no bulging really at all. It looks to me like they are no problem to fit to OEM wheels. I'll try to get some pics up tonite when I get home and have the time.

My opinion on aftermarket wheels is there is really no need (outside of asthetics, of course). I hemmed and hawed over it for a few weeks, and here is what I decided: For under $2k it's really hard to get wheels and tires that are noticeably lighter than OEM. Therefore from a performance standpoint, you're gaining almost nothing (unless you consider more grip b/c wider). Now for $2k you can get a nice set of coilovers, sway bars, and??? It seems to me the money is better spent elsewhere, not to mention OEM wheels are cheaper and easier to come by if you ever curb one.

That flash sure makes the car look dirty, I should be ashamed. Looks like I have a busy week ahead of me
