o man.... i liked it the other way when they're not spaced out but now idk. dam it Peng, i ALREADY had a hard time making a decision on this

and i agree with the connection issue. Josh, are they gonna have the same plug as the stock even if I do the two colored LEDs?

hankook ventus was what i was going to get to replace my Falken FK452s, but now that im going to sell my wheels, im just going to hold off.

Otherwise, Nitto, Michilin etc. Limitless, just depends on how much you want to spend.

The LED's are a little spaced apart. Also, they are plug and play. He has the wedge adapter fitted for you.

I'll tell him to hold a set for you. And to answer your other question, everything will be plug and play. If you do two LED stripes per corner light, you'll have to tap into the turn signal power source and run them that way.

For tires I'd say go with Michelin. Yes they are a lil more but they also will last longer and are quieter. I know my next set will be from Michelin.
On a different note_ I found a shop that does all sorts of custom work. Got my windows tinted there and was talking to one of their tech and they do everything from suspension install to headlight retrofitting. They are priced competitively too. I plan on having them work on Tina's headlight. If anyone is interested, let me know.

^ Michelin tires are the way to go. I've got a set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's and they are amazing tires. What's the name of the shop? I'm good friends with the owner of RS Motors out in Burnsville, and they do similar stuff.

It's VIP Motorsport. They are in a couple other states (only remember Texas) and opened up about 4 months ago in Brooklyn Park. They seems to be doing some pretty legit work. I think I might actually have them hook up the lights on the Audi as well but we'll see on that. Didn't know there was shop in Burnsville that did this kind of work.

RS Motors doesn't do headlight retrofitting or exterior stuff. They only do performance related things. I'd be interested in having my headlights retrofitted. How much do they charge?

Hossam, I'd avoid the Nitto NT555 tires if anything...I heard those are dangerous in rain. I know 2 of the local z guys have crashed in the rain running those. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the Michelins pilots burn through fast? I could swear that's what was on my car stock what was left on the tires went quick after I bought the car.

I'm actually pretty happy with the Falken 452s. They have pretty good grip and pretty good treadware too and the price is good.

Hey guys, yeah I know, it's been awhile.

Curious though, anyone have a set of OEM Rays 19"s they want to sell? My rear tires are basically shot from negativ-O camber and need to buy new tires. Figured, if I need to spend a little bit more for some 19"s w/ rubber on em. Lemme know.

PM me, as I don't get on much because I'm a Modern Warfare 2 *****... lol...
