Props to Tires 23 for these...
They were ready in a mere day and ahalf after purchasing, AND they even put them on the car for me, which i so wasn\'t expecting....2 thumbs up!

ALSO, Thanks to Methodyst, for twisting my arm!!
AND, thanks to my slave servant RJR, who busted out the tire shine free of charge!

Now all you need is a body kit and remove the side trim/moulding!

hmmmm that looks like the WestSide Timmies lot....

were these taken last night? cuase they real nice man... When you left, as you turn the wheel, the tires sounded EXTRA sticky, as if you were turning the wheel on a polished harwood floor.

How long have you had the rubbers on?

[mEtH]

at that point in time about 1-2hours HAHA!!!

looks hawt man. Oh and regarding the mouldings it actually for once looks good with the mouldings, guess its a see it in person thing.

EDIT: HEY those are the pics I took. :p

Nice!!!

Once the Vibrant, intake and strut brace go on, there ain\'t anything left to mod! Except for the Hiboost Turbo...

How\'s the ride now?

When I upgraded from 15 to 16, I added 4 or 5 lbs. The benefits of stickier rubber is offset very slightly by a more \"unsettled\" ride. Not by much though...

well, im not sure what variables might have occured, but on teh highway i am getting a vibration. I have to get a 4 wheel alingment, i have beenw aiting for the new wheels to get it done since i lowered it. So imma get them to check tu a bunch of stuff...not sure why i was getting vibrations on teh highway...

[Whos ur dadd]

Hmmm, I\'m getting vibrations on my set that I purchased from Martin too. In fact, I noticed that one of the wheels I picked up didn\'t have any tape weights on the inner rim. I doubt the rim/tire combo is perfectly balanced as it is. Odd. In any event, I\'m going to get Martin to look into the vibration issue.

I believe that all vibration issues are due to tire balancing and not alignment. Alignment will help reduce incorrect camber wear on your lowered ride though...

im gonna get keiswetter to do a check on all possibilities anyhow..
