I dont miss my old tires, I can't even get these things to slide when the road is wet. It takes ALOT of force, these really stick to the ground.

Looks real sharp. I especialy like the headlights and the drop looks just right.

I don't know about the wheels, though. If the price were right, I would put them on my car, but definitely not my first choice.

Reason why I like them because I don't want anything too flashy. They remind me of the Borbet Type-E wheels, so I really wanted to keep a 5 spoke wheel design. Not to mention they are 17x8, so traction now is not a problem. Its just my preference.

As I said in the other thread, your car rocks! The rims look unique on there and make the car look really luxurious. I like the finish on them and the way they shine. I love your headlights too. Are you going to use those as your winter wheels too, or go back to your 5 spokes?

I've thought about it and I think im gonna keep them on for the winter, I'll just put good all-seasons on them. Im going to keep the old 5-spoke SE wheels as backups with really good studded winter tires for days its really snowy/icey out. Only takes me 5-10 mins to swap the wheels anyways. I just love how these wheels fill in the gap on the back of the car.

It is "dropped". Im not going to lower it anymore because of the roads around here. Im not into the whole "Hey lets go cut our springs so we sit 1" off the ground" thing.

Very nice BlueC. Those new wheels look much better than the stock SE wheels. Are they alot heavier than the stock SE wheels?

Just a little, nothing noticable when driving. Although gas milage has gone down from averaging 20-21mpg to now 18-19mpg. Most likely its from the width of the new tires. I know the wider you go, more resistance comes along with it.

Yeah, the uncommon Red Maxima's around here always have me taking a double take. I didn't like them at first but I guess they have kind of grown on me. I love the headlights, what type are they?
