My new Rims and Tires

[ZoomVT]

As i said before, i finally got my new wheels (Kazera A) and tires (Kumho ASX).
here are some pics since some people asked about them.

I apologize for the quality, i dont have a camera yet so i had to borrow one.

Just drop that bad boy about an inch and you'll be all set! (thumb)

i have been wanting to drop it but i worry about two things. One: the roads in this town suck, plenty of deep potholes and in the winter the heaves are just awful; as well the driveways end up being too steep and i already have to come out at 1mph or i would nail the bottom. Two: i am getting a CAI and i worry i will hydrolock, most people say it doest go low enough to be a problem but although that may be true now, i am sure in the winter it is different since i would have to drive trhough a couple inches of snow a couple times a year. they dont plow very well out here; and im not interested in putting/removing my CAI that often. so you think the snow would be a problem?

get a SRI and lower it (2thumbs)

Snow won't hydrolock an engine, only total submersion in liquid will.

Besides, the CAI on our cars is almost completely protected from the elements.

The driveways may be a problem but I wouldn't worry about the roads. Michigan roads are some of the worst in the nation and I don't have any prolems. The lower springs are somewhat stiffer, so bottoming isn't a problem. I've hit bad RR tracks at 50 mph and not had any problems with bottoming.

Do an Eibach pro-kit. You'll thank me. (2thumbs)

likin the yellow and black theme... and like gw said lower that bad boy and itll look sweet... you notice any perf difference with those wheels... you were worried about added weight before with 18's correct?

i was worried. period.
No performance difference at all. a little bit more of torque steer but nothing to worry about. Th tires though have an insane grip on dry asphalt, i absolutely love it. its like that commercial for dunlop tires. "the on ramp is a terrible thing to waste"; i am absoultely tearing it up on the on ramps, which i was already doing before but these tires take it to the next level.
highly recommend them.
