I think your wheel locks match the wheels. Good choice.

Are those all-season touring tires? and why's the door moulding have holes?

to answer your question JAE, the holes are there because im repainting my car. you can see ive already used body filler on some dents and i am getting ready to start sanding the whole thing.

p.s. my springs should be here very soon.

I really like the style, 10 spoke looks nice. Did you say you have 215's?? Shouldn't they be 235/45-17? Maybe just a typo.....

I can't believe how cheap rims/tires have gotten, it's great. Dumb me thought I couldn't pass inspection with my worn Kumhos (I'll not buy another set, the Ecsta ASX 400 AA A wear fast, maybe all the WR tires do, but they weren't that great in the wet/slush), so I went and bought new 18" rims/tires for under $1000. I'm shocked my new rims are 2 pc. 18x8 and 22.5 lbs for $119 ea--Shuk W21 at the Tire Rack. Now my car had to go in for 2 new axles unexpectedly so I happened to ask if I would pass inspection as-is, meaning sticky piston, worn tires, bent rim, and they said yes. So I wont be putting my new rims on anytime soon!! But with the $119 price, I'm not bummed at all, I'll mount them when my Kumhos are gone. Went with the Avon Tyres this time, they were ranked #1 at Tire Rack for the A/S category so why not...only $114 ea.

Just curious, why 215/45? That should be smaller overall than the stockers....

Wheels are cool but the tires are not. 215's on 7" wheels are for small cars like civics and integras, not to mention, your speedo will be off by quite a bit.

That's because that diameter is smaller than stock. That's some messed-up +1, I never heard of larger rim, same width tire. Maybe it's a LBC or CPT thing, that's what I was thinking. California love.....

not bad. not bad at all, though i think a little bigger would have been nice too. like 18/19 for your car would look good. could be because i have 17" stock on my max and i want bigger
