Got my new rims and tires on today........WOW!!

It looks sweet. Im impressed. They are Motegi Racing Mr7's (Knock off Konig Tantrums) in 16x7 form, and wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza 950 All seasons 215/55/16. They are sweet! Quite as hell tires, nice ride too, loads of dry/wet traction I noticed, and if the weather guys are right, Ill be trying them out on the snow tomorrow.

Now, I just think I gotta lower this thing, LOL. It would really look good then! Im gonna get some H&R's and KYB AGX's and then I think it will be really sharp! I cant wait, but thats a summer thing, when I get more money, LOL.

Ill get some pics up when I can, I gotta el cheapo camera Im gonna sneak into the Aerosmith concert Sat night and Ill be sure to leave a few shots on there for the rims, and maybe get my hands on a friends digital camera and see what we can do.

But as of right now, I am one VERY happy Maxima owner!

GOODDYE OLD HUBCAPPED WHEELS, HELLO PIMPIN ONES!

I just got new wheels and tires on my mom's corolla. Rage 5.0 17x7 and 205/40ZR17 Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 tires. Looks badass considering the wheels/tires/installation cost less than 3 of my wheels...lol gotta love the chrome!

Did the stock GLE and GXE also come with Bridgestone Potenza's or just the SE?
