Read the tire reviews and you will see that this is a major upgrade for performance. Lots of complaints about the handling of the Primacys and praise for the Super Sports. Now i don't have to drive 20-30k miles with inferior tires. Also saves me the hassle of trying to sell the Primacys as used on Craig's List. The Primacys have a higher MSRP so that helped convince the dealer.

But from what I see they aren't even coming with those. They are all season tires...

If I was only keeping the OEM rims I would consider that. Not a bad idea!

For those on a budget this will give you much greater performance for almost no additional cost. Going the way of news wheels and tires wii add up to over a grand.

Four bolts and two nuts.

Two nuts closest to the center and four bolts spread evenly to the outside. Ill post pictures of it tomorrow.

Just to let you know. It took me an hour to take off the stock spoiler. Used a heat gun and floss/string. And brute force. The industrial grade double sided tape is no joke.

Curious... Which dealer were you going through? I'm betting all the dealers were trying to steal the one that @Lyzak ended up with
