Finally Installed

Well after waiting almost a month and a half for the wheel spacers I finally got my new wheels installed. I ended up putting Dunlop Sport Maxx 01s instead of the Goodyear Eagle F1s because they would have cost me $450+ a tire. I used Ichiba 15mm wheel spacer on the fronts only.



I will put more pics up later, its raining right now

Haha, thanks.

This just set me back $3000...and as much as I hate to say it, I'm gonna have to hold up on any upgrades for at least the summer.

BUT, when the time comes I'm gonna get a drop, z-tube, exhaust,...the works.

$1200 for the wheels + $100 for the shipping.
$350 for each tire + installation = $1600.
$100 for the wheel spacers.

At Mavis they were telling me that 19in is a odd size and they are pretty expensive. Oh well, its worth it

You can save on average like $300 to $400 on tires when purchasing online.

Next time...

Vulcantire.com has the FK 452's in 245/40/19 for $720 plus another $100 for shipping to Cali, so to NY it would have been less than $800 for all four... i feel sorry for this guy... that sucks *****
