Finally ...
After a long Canadian winter, without having been washed and with winter wheels and winter tires ...
now with the arrival of spring, cleaner and with summer wheels (TSW Kyalami, 15" 6.5 +40) and new summer tires (Toyo Proxes4, 205/55R15) p.s. The colors in the windows due to the polarizing filter of the lens of my camera

It was a rather long winter around in the Maritimes as well. I put my summer rims/tires on a week ago and yesterday had to drive home in snow which wasn't pleasant.
Cars looks good. Any plans to lower it?

OK ...
For a drop, no thank ! 1- I don't like that 2- A dropped car has less suspension travel = more uncomfortable* and more unstable on bad road 3- I do landscape photography, I'm often in the trails in the woods or fields, a droped car scraped everywhere 4- A car with a good ground clearance are a lot more convenient My 15" rims (TSW Kyalami): Yes, a 16" ou 17"rims are more beautiful but: More rims = less rubber, less rubber = uncomfortable*. *= streets and roads in the province of Quebec are in very poor condition ! And at my age (46) convenience side and comfort are more important than the look Crandall, I saw that in the news snow in N-B ! thebarber, thank you for the compliment PK198105, yes, the last three photos are from Ile d'Orleans (Ste-Pétronille) MadMax, it was not intentional to catch the light reflecting off of the Toyota emblem but I'm very happy of that

Simply beautiful.
I really am surprised we don't see more mesh style wheels around here. Those are gorgeous.

Tiens, tu parles français toi aussi. Il y en a plus qu'on pense ici qui parlent français.
Merci pour mes humbles photos de l'amateur que je suis
