It used to be....
Generic hupcaps to which I gave to my aunt. Then I painted my steelies flat black. Then, I got free to me Yota hubcaps semi painted that I finished in flat black. All of those looks were, ehhh... But, to me, I wanted function first, then looks. I wanted to go V rated Michelin. My first thought was Pilot Sport A/S 3. But, there were lots of reports of them wearin out prematurely to their 45k warranty. Then, I looked at the Primacy. Nice, but, they are doing away with that tire (first in 15's, then in the 16's, at least in our sizes anyway). So, I went with the new Michelin Premier A/S. Those tires, as they age, develop sipes and the longitudal grooves grow wider. So, it channels water away used or worn, just as well as when new. Which, by yesterdays deluge, are just as good as those old water tires, displacement wise. The rims, man, I was torn, but always kept coming back to the Konig Feathers. I got the tires $619 from Ford, with a 70 dollar rebate, making them $549. I got the McGard wheel locks from Pep Boys $46 (shoulda went Amazon there prolly) and I used stock lug nuts on other 3 studs per wheel. And I got the Feathers, from DIscout Tire Direct, to where they were $426 with TPMS rebuild kit, to which I would recommend. Too, I installed them myself, road force balancing each tire, then proper placement of each (RFV values were a bit high, but, stiff tires they are LF 19, RF 18, RR 24, LR 34). In the beginning, I sold my wife's Camry 18" rims for a steal at $370, for stock pull offs from a 2008 Avalon, to help offset the costs. Now, I may just sell my steelies with Cooper tires to someone who needs em more than I do. I like the look. Whatdyall think ?

I'm posting this as a funny because I'm only halfway through my suspension process due to waiting on my fronts struts to arrive but here's how she looks as of 12/21/14 with only the rear lowered.
My setup is 16x7 +40 Konig Feathers with 205/50/16 tires on Tein S-Tech springs and Tokico Blues. I also added the TRD rear sway bar which is a significant improvement over stock handling. I'll be sure to post updated pics once I finish lowering the front. Overall very satisfied with the drop. Tein rates these at a 1.9" drop. Last edited by ctsround3; 12-22-2014 at 12:10 PM. |

Alright so here's the finished product.
My setup is 16x7 +40 Konig Feathers with 205/50/16 tires on Tein S-Tech springs and Tokico Blues. I also added the TRD rear sway bar which is a significant improvement over stock handling.
