Hahaha so true... Don't forget the lexani Million dollar diamond rims
I was looking for something that looked the goods, but wasn't outrageous with size weight and fitment. And didn't compromise performance too much.
Hence why I chose the wheels I did.
Basically same specs as the cx7 rims.
I find that it does track a little worse with the wider tyres, but front end traction was increased a fair bit, especially when keeping the foot hard in it through the middle of some small chicanes.
But, looks come with a price with the definate loss of ride comfort and a touch of bouncyness of the 35series.
I guess 17" is optimal compromise but damn I just love my 18's
Worth it if it's the look you are after.

Not as though these cars were exactly designed to go fast anyway
(if it was it wouldn't have tiny brakes that are way to thin lol)

P.s. nice little tidy car u have there hammo, saw it at the jdmst meet.
Definate +1 for changing back to stock tail lights (01 lights tht is.. Don't like the later model ones)
You definitely lost that 4WD factor with the coilies
