It's been raining so I didn't take any pictures yet, but it looks pretty cool. The wheels are Borbet Type E (http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/DisplayWheel.jsp?wheelMake=Borbet&wheelModel=Type+E&wheelFinish=Silver+w%2FMachined+Lip) with 245/45-17 tires all the way around. Offset is 13, which actually puts the wheel pretty far out in the fender.

The fronts look a little weird sticking out but it's not bad. At least I got a few inches more track width. :D

Thought people might like to know that these fit without rubbing on a lowered car (Bav Auto springs).

you got the falken azenis? are they the st115? i have some too and they are great. really quiet good grip too. they have been on since the end of summer and havent seem to have worn much. couldnt believe they were less than $105 each for z rateds. those wheels would match our cars pretty good i think. get some pictures up.

The tyres are pretty good actually, but I found the wear and tear is a little quicker compared to the Michelins. but they are worth the money :)

I'm going to purchase Falken ST115 as well. I heard from www.epinions.com that they are very slient and have smooth ride; however, they wear fast.

These are the Azeni Sports. These are mixed summer/track tires, I'm keeping my stock wheels with some all season tires on it for winter.

i got the azenis st115 as well, which is different from the azenis sport. they're pretty good tires and don't cost too much. very quiet. got mine from www.tires.com

The speedlines were available thru the dealer at the time. Wish I had kept them before trade in.

You're still welcome to the stock chip from my car, if ya want.

How'd the dyno day coming?

I was going to check with a few more people, but I think the 17th at Carb Connection is the day and place. I'll let you know.

edited to change the date to the 17th, since the 10th is Easter
