I think the first thing I want to do is change the wheels on my car (see pic). I've been to the tire rack website and I think the Borbet Type H 16 X 7.5 look good on the picture they provide. Opinions needed good or bad, also, what kind of tires? The ones on the car are new but are Summits (I didn't bother to see what model) and they are 15's. All I know is that they suck compared to my Yokohama's that were on my 95 SE.

S rated tires on car

Yikes, I'm glad I looked I think an S rated tire is only good for a little over 100mph aren't they?

Definetly start with Wheels/tires
clears and tints. Then I'd work on suspension.
Kumho Ecsta 712 tires are pretty good and cheap.

My opinion

IMHO, you should get at least 17's. Look for something else other than those Borbets. It's an old and unattractive design.

ok, so everybody hates the Momos, but...

Give me your wheel suggestion for my 96 Pebble Beige GLE, cause those stock wheels and those crapy Summit S rated tires have got to go. BTW, does anyone know the OEM part numbers for the 97-99 SE five spoke wheel.
