thats not a good choice, ...
if you are gonna keep the oem wheels/rims, then change the tires.

i can almost live with the wheels ... but the tires suck and i have seen a few where they change the tires only and it looks ok.
the only reason the oem tires are good is if you are really looking for maximum MPG and drive alot of hwy miles..

if you are going to put new wheels on those crap tires then thats about the worse thing anyone has heard....

Agreed, the tires are some of the worst things put on the entire car! Gets worse when your out on a track too.

Toyota put them on the car for some reason!
Smooth Area of losing Grip, reliable Feedback, slow wearing.

These are sure worth it to drive em down before buying a new set(not neccessary the same again)
