LOOK! NEW WHEELS AND TIRES!

FINALLY! I finally got my tire and wheels installed. I went with the factory 6 spoke wheels dipped in chrome! I haven't seen any maximas with these yet. I also got 4 new tires. I went with Falken 912's. 245 45 18's. The car rides so much better, and the wheels help set off my new E&G Classic fine mesh grille. Let me know what you guys think!

Next is to lower it a little, and rear sway bar. Any other advise and opinions is great! Sorry for the crappy pictures, used iphone.

I had the same wheels on the but they just weren't chrome. I put my new grille on and it looked out of place without some more chrome. So I just thought I'd throw these on. I got a steal on the wheels from a guy in California.

And the new one should just go right in like that old one. I got my grille from www.carid.com It took FOREVER for them to ship it to my door for some reason. But It was obviously worth it. You can use the search button and find a how to on removing the old grille. It's really simple. If you have any more questions just feel free to ask.

Those wheels look better chrome and fit your ride perfect. Good choice, looks good. Those grills are nice but over priced.

You asked what to do next, get rid of those nitrogen caps...makes your car look rice!

J/k, some crome tips would look better. Are those rubber stems, or did you go with solid metal?

So far the Falkens are GREAT! The car feels like a new car now. My wifes uncle works for a tire shop here in Tennessee, and I called to get a quote, and the quote for me was 730.00 for 4 mounted and balaced.....but then my wife went in....(she's cuter than me) and they love her to death, and gave her a deal! $520.00 4 tires mounted and balanced on new wheels. Not too bad of a deal. Pays to have a good lookin wife!

I'm personally not a fan of chrome, to each their own. But you got a beautiful southern bell.

I bought them like that. I bought them from a guy in Cali for 300 bucks....would you believe that?! In total I paid him 500 for them to be shipped to my door. They are brand new and never been mounted. His wheels shop went under and he was hurting for money.
