Something new, to something old

[Louis Zerr]

Well since I am just sitting around wasting time I figured I show you what is coming up. I ordered some 15" wheels and tires. I received one on Saturday and the rest should be here any minute. Here is the one up close to its future home.

I like the rims, where's the RWL's?

Why a 15? Winter wheel?

What did you have before?

My take is, if he's being clever, that it's more of an old school deal not sure though. Generally a larger tire with more sidewall and back in the day we would be sporting raised white letters as well on our RWD muscle cars. Then again they may just be some new wheels for his old Focus.

Crappy roads, I don't want to bend my 17's. I drive it about 70+ miles a day and i am tired of dodging potholes. That and the set up only cost me about $30 more than just new 17" tires. And for winter 15" are much cheaper.

Oh and yeah this is something new for my old car.

So set down the coffee and the doughnut and the cell phone and watch the road

Seriously though, I like the look of a fatter sidewall. If I ever have any extra money I'd like to get 16's for my SVT, I just like the way they look.

Winter wheels? I'm hoping lol

[Steve@Tasca]

This is why I want 16's, this car just looks badass.


I love Rota's, Slips and Grids are the two that get me every time.

I agree, I'd love to have a set of 16's Slips on my wagon for Dailies.

I'm really enjoying my Kosei K1's as daily this week...damn I'm lazy. Its Wed and still rocking Autox wheels from sunday. LOL

UPDATE: Haters be jealous. This fat man needs fat tires. And um, I don't get to drive on nice freeways, The best road i get to drive is Highway 5 east of Waconia. I took hwy 10 near Chaska and about blew 2 of my 16's (old winters) on a "bump" that went the whole way across the road.


They look better than I thought they would, and ride like a Cadillac.

I like the rims and I'm sure the extra sidewall is cushy on the tushy.

Nice job. I'm a big fan of the smaller tire/rim combo with respect to less weight. Much less expensive to achieve that goal. Gotta have the drop to pull it off though. You guys with more ponies got a little more wiggle room before the weight starts messing with performance.

Looks cool. Needs more turbo.

[spots25]

hear that! I just switched down to 15"s myself. Cheaper tires, little better mileage, better ride... less grip

good lookin, more sidewall = safer for pothole.
