looks great, gideon, "purposeful" is certainly the best way to describe your wheel and tire combo

I still have them, they were just too heavy and with the drop I had they rubbed on every bump and were annoying me.

well, champiro may be cheap, but they r running damn well. but sometimes i feel a little vibration in my car when i go above 140. i dont know why, but it's coming from the back of my car. i havent had my car re-alligned or cambered. Do i need that after a new installation?

Did you install hubcentric rings with those aftermarket wheels? Check wheel balance.

"hubcentric rings", r they really intended to do what they do? i mean i never found any difference with or without the rings. i guess i need to check my wheels for balancing. is there any allignment issue that i should also consider ?

Hubcentric rings can prevent vibration at speed. Double check wheel balance. Shouldn't be an alignment issue.
