Finally...New Wheels and Tires!!!

Well I finally broke down and bought new wheels and tires. I have 235/45ZR17 Toyo Proxes FZ4's with Mille Miglia Evo 5 wheels. Im loving them by the way. The Toyos are a little bit noisy but they grip very well. The wheels pretty much speak for themselves. Right now the only pic I have is the one in my sig. More to come soon. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks for the compliments! I bought them from Town Fair Tire which is a local tire dealer in Connecticut. They had to special order them for me though...not many places with the Evos in stock.

I got the wheels for $180 a piece and they were very firm on that price. They arrived in only 3 business days..very good service. As far as the Toyo's, they were listed at $179/tire and I got them for $139/tire...had to negotiate for that though. I love them both...very complimenting to the Max body style...happy shopping!

Those were the only rims i was considering before i bought mine. But since i had chrome before i didn't want to go back to silver, and the evo5s chrome where a lot of money. Looks good. good luck
