EDIT: Tires were swapped for Michelin PSS. The Dunlops didnt balance well at higher speeds and were plain dangerous in the wet

Looks good. Props for trying something different. :)

Damn that looks good maybe its the angle or the spoiler but that looks really good. Where did you get them and how much $$$?

I like the originality of your headlights! The wheels are pretty sweet looking too!

Thanks, I really wanted a dark gray. These are listed as Hyper Black.

Thanks, not sure If I can post pricing here so i'll PM you. I wanted affordable, reasonably light, stickier tires, square setup, and this color and style wheel.

Looks great! I've considered these wheels off and on, but as I'd never seen them on one of the twins, I've been undecided. Fantastic combo here!

Wow, I am really liking this. Car looks great all-around.

How are you liking those tires? I am thinking about picking up a set but have heard mixed reviews. I daily drive it, mostly highway with some aggressive turning. I do not track or autocross my car.

I haven't done any aggressive driving on them yet so I'll let you know. I'm not too far from US129 (the dragon). I'm sure they are stickier than stock which I wanted. I also like the rim protector which is more prominent than on the Continental Extreme Contact DW which I also like. I had two sets of the Continental DWS on a previous car but i did replace two to road hazards, they had a softer sidewall.

Thanks! As far as daily driving them, they feel ok? Do they feel confident?

Oh yeah great, They balanced out well and everything. Steering is fine. Again, I'm still wearing off the mold release on the tires since I'm probably still under 20 miles on them. I can tell I'm on a thinner sidewall. The directional tread pattern has to be good in the rain. You can't rotate them side to side though. The Continental Extreme Contact DW shows to weigh 2lbs less and aren't directional for about $7 more per tire but I wanted a little more rim protection.

EDIT: Run from these tires! Low traction. Horrible in the wet. Didn't balance well at hwy speeds

Looks pretty good.

Clipdat 03-28-2013 11:42 PM

Sweet, gives the car that high end touring car look!

I've been waiting FOREVER for someone to finally get this setup...Your car looks amazing!
