Finally got longer wheel bolts so the new rims go on.

Comments are very welcome, unless they are snide, smart remarks.

I photochopped the license plate out of the last, so if the front bumper doesn't look quite right, that's why.

Hey, those are the rims I originally wanted. Wasn't sure howd they look, but darn, they look good. They would look AWESOME if you were to lower it. Nice job! Good choice on those rims.

Nice rims, I have the same tires, same size on my 855. How do you like them? I'm quite pleased with them overall.

I do like the tires, just as quiet as the michelins, we'll see how they handle some snow though. They certainly hold the road better than the 195/60/15s. More rubber is sooo much better biggrin.gif

Lowering springs would definately be a good upgrade and are probably in the future, next summer.

They do handle snow OK. Obviously not as good as real snow tires, but definitely on par with all other all season tires I've had. After 10000 miles they're still quiet on my car, and grips alright on dry too.
