Nice wheels mate! Curious why you went with such teeny tires... are you planning to drop the car?

Stock 15's here are 185/60/15 and a comparable tire size is 205/55/15.

So, 195/50's are miniscule!

Actually waiting on a couple different sizes to arrive (smaller) so I can experiment more. These actually protrude out farther than I want. Beauty rings and painted wide whites won't be installed till later this summer.....$$$$ and other projects!

The overall diameter of the 195/50's 22.64", while the OEM tires (185/60's) is 23.7". The 195's are over 1" smaller in diameter than the 185's. !95/55's would've been a much closer match with a diameter of 23.41".

Mine are Konig Minuz 15x6.5, Kumho Ecsta ASX 205/50/15 tires.

Still deciding if I want center caps, do plan to get some spline drive lugs on there also, can't decide black/gunmetal or color

Bought these last fall - $2700 can. after tax / duty / shipping.

ICW Jet 25
20 x 7.5 +40mm
Tires - General - 225/35/20

Not lowered - rubs in the obvious places. Have run them over 2000km with no serious problems. Stiffer suspension is going to eliminate wheel rub over 'progressive' bumps.

looks great so far, I say black nuts and no centers

so have you decided what springs you are going with? Tein S Techs maybe?

oh, I see in your garage you are planning to go TRD :(

I reserve the right to change my mind about this and every other decision concerning this car, right up to the last instant! I have done this forever, why change now?
