I called the company and they confirmed that the tires that are mounted to these rims will not throw off my speedometer.

I have no idea. calling now.

Got done calling... Nankang NS1 tires, all season radial. I don't care about the tires for now. I just need something I can put on my car quickly. I don't want to break my CV or something with this awful vibration at low speeds. They can always be replaced with some falken tires later. Or some Moshimoto Ziex tires from the street racing world.



Aparently they're pretty cheaply constructed tires, but they look good. The sidewalls aren't the greatest. I'll replace them eventually.

I think you spend your money way to fast. Whats the rush?

My opinion:
Those wheels look like ass. No offense. They have the same pattern as Wal-mart does in their hub caps.
Those tires, are garbage LOL. They are around 47$.ea


Well goodluck with them, I would of waited, saved my money and got something of much better quality.

They look better than stock, but they aren't fantastic. Still, a step up.

17's? Ehhh, hope you have some springs and struts to go on soon, 17's on the stock suspension suck balls in my opinion.

Wonder how heavy they are.

I stated the rush at the top of the first post. The rush is a bent rim causing shimmying to the stering wheel, wear on my tires, a bumpy ride and making my car bump around unnescissarilly causing problems elsewhere.

I Didn't really care how they look, I can paint them and probly will paint them gunmetal. I've got 2 bad tires on my car in the front. When i slam on the gas since it started vibrating, i squeel in 2nd gear.



I have KYB GR-2 shocks all around. Maybe that will help? Either way, it can't be bumpier then it is now!

Eh, I don't care that much for 'em either. You could probably find as good a deal elsewhere.

Because you have a bent rim you were in a rush?

Go buy a 30$ steelie, put your tire on that. Problem solved. Than shop around for wheels so that you aren't rushed.

Dude, don't paint them, that's just ghetto. Your painted OEM rims were the one thing I disliked the most on your car, followed up by the spark plug cover paint job.

LOL

Seriously, get them powdercoated. it's not that expensive.
