Ok As i said in my last thread i had to go with the TOYO's but they are really nice, just quite expensive.
The rims i was being sheisty about saying which ones i got because i didnt want to spoil it. I got the Motegi FF7's in black with a polished lip because i figured it would go great with my hood and it does.
Oh the size of the rims are 16" and the tire size is 205/45/16.
Forgive the stock rotors with the less than freshly painted calipers but as soon as i get some loot and some time i will repaint the calipers and put new D/S rotors on.
It took about three hours to put them on because the screws on the rotors were stripped and i had a lugnut on the passanger rear stock tire that would not come off, 3 ratchets and one socket broke trying to get this off. WOW.
But here they are:

^Thanks!
Yea we are about to do that with the Accent lol fing02.gif
Just took the tib for a ride with the new rims and i tried out cornering and the tires feel really nice, and the rims seem to help also, considering i was rolling 195/65/15 before

alex you bought the accent?! muhahah that accent is awesome! yeah buy some really rugged tires for the accent. it'll be like a 4x4.
the tib looks great man. looks a bit like my car. i'd tint the windows, and even those rear taillights would look better tinted. i would have gottten 215 tires though. they really look like 17's.

Yah i wanted 215's but they couldnt get me them. Id most likely have to special order them online next time. Unfortunatly for my wallet I'm probably going to end up falling in love with these tires, i tested them out and there pretty friggin sticky
Rear windows are tinted pretty good, just dont know how much to do on the front.
Yah i know it looks like its beggin for a 2" drop but im doubting the intercooler will like that much lol, look in my sig, its pretty low.
But im going to drop it, just dont know how far. I want to go with coilovers so i can adjust how far my drop is.
I scrape the intercooler sometimes turning onto really steep driveways with stock suspension d'oh owned.gif
Oh selina bought the accent, since her tib is down again, but like phorq said were most likely going to throw the stock tib wheels on there to make it a bad ass winter beast

Yah the car looked pretty goofy with 65 profile tires, glad you got the right size on there now so your speedo will be right for a change! lmao.gif
guess its good when you can smoke 65 profile tires on stock rims and no ebrake eh? lol
