Man those really look good. They really set your car off. $115/tire is kinda high though. I got my Bridgestone Potenza G009s in a 205-40-17 for $48/tire from Tirerack.com (they were on special, not that price anymore.) But there are plenty of good quality name brand tires in the $60-$80 range. Anyway, car looks good, two thumbs up!

meh not a fan of 17s, makes the car look like a monster truck and ever less of a fan of chrome but each to his own. the kumho ecsta supra tires are pretty good for street use, thats what i have..

well found out what that grinding sound was....
the chunk i thought was just missing from the drum musta still been stuck inside the lip and it finaly started grinding into smaller pieces all the way around the drum. LUCKELY it was just inside the lip so my drums and pads are still good! YEAHHHHH

but how this happened i have NO CLUE!
i didnt notice it when i changed the pads but i was just checken the inside for gouges. might have missed it or it just happened when i removed them to paint the drums. tho i never hit them with a hammer EVER! always used the 2 bolt method of pullen them! ODD to me...

Loving the look, man. Those must be an exact cast of some Motegi MR7s, the only difference being that the space you were talking about possibly being an area for engraving has MR7 in raised lettering on my Motegis. I've got them on my black Civic...good choice!

Definately likin those rims, im usually not a fan of chrome but those look damn good. I got 205/40/17s for like $50 a tire off Tirerack.com, i think the same price as jake11375. They got to my house in like 2 or 3 days too. That paint on ur calipers really makes a difference man!

i was just shocked at how much paint it used to paint all that.... VERY LITTLE!!!!!! ive still got over 3/4 the can left!!!!! tho i did only put 2 coats on each caliper and the tips of the rotors and other round part of the rotor just to hide all that crapy rust!

eventualy id like to replace the drilled rotors with some sloted rotors cause ive heard those are alot beter since the drilled holes MIGHT crack...

i just got back from discount tire and thier good 205/40/17s is gonna run me like 469 with the replacement plan which i definatly want with these low pros!!!!!
thought i might try and spray on this black looken bra spray that i got at the store on the rims and see what they would look like black..... just for kicks of course! but its raining to much now so i wont try it just yet..... stuff

today im gonna wire my radio right to the battery HOPEFULLY that will solve my crapy noises at higher power! 8 gauge wire should be a nice overkill ill never have to worry about again.LOL
