Hey guyz, I finally got some new tires and put my old rims back on my ride, so much better than hubcaps. My buddy hooked me up with a set of Yokohama ES 100, same tires I had on my rims before, a very good handling tire and I got really hooked up on the price, its nice to have friends that manage a tire store. After putting them on I cleaned my car and went picture crazy, I love the way they look. Check it out.

Here is the tire, 225 40 18, pretty wide going from a 205 tire. My car handled pretty good being lowered, but putting these tires on takes it to the next level.




I love this picture, these tires are so easy to keep nice and shinny. I dressed them with a combo of Amorall Gel and Megs Hot Shine, very nice combe, the amorall helps the dressing stick and the Megs gives a extremely wet shine.

The rims are so easy to clean and I can even get the inside without any special brushes. Here are some other pictures I took.

I like this pic too, just the way the car sits on the wheels.

And of course I gotta show off the paint, Pinn. Souv over TPP.


Lets just hope I can keep the rims this clean all the time.

Those look real nice. They really compliment the car.
I've been dying to get some rims, I'm so tired of plastic hubcaps.
 
Nice 6, what springs you got on there?

Did you have to roll the fenders at all?
 
Oh man, I love those rims on your car. The rubber looks awesome. The stance on the butt shot is mean :D

Eibach pro kit and no I didn't roll the fenders, but I might have to if a adjust the chamber in the back, that the only thing prventing them from hitting the fender, I can barely fit my hand between the tire and fender.
 
I would add a rear spoiler, but nice combo so far !
 
Looking good, I like the tires and the paint looks good. Very nice combo you got going on there buddy.

Thanks for sharing and take as many pictures as you'd like no complains here, I never get tired of seeing pictures.
 
Wow, they look nice, lowered and fits great.

How much of a tint is that? Looks quite dark.

20% all the way around, I think it looks darker cause the paints white.

I am not usually a fan of the "wet" look for tire dressing. In your case, with the white paint and the great job on the wheel wells, the tires look like they disappear!! VERY COOL INDEED!!

very clean wheels nice choice..your saturn hubcaps really match your wheels, adding hubcaps to your wheels, you can be inspired to drag it along to every function. :) well designed that give a boost to the boring looks of a vehicle.
