I like them, the tires have great grip in the rain too, and they don't quite feel much different than the 15 inch as far as ride comfort goes.

The Casino as a backdrop.

I generally dislike after market wheels, but those look pretty damn nice!

Interestingly, my car is a '92 as well, but without the 3rd brake light.

Your car looks superb considering the mileage!

I believe that 3rd light's Canadian specs, following regulations that had started for them right about that time or a few years before.

Thanks for the compliment. I was not sure how well they would work. They are somewhat subtle because of their color (anthracite).

I was lucky it was well maintained by the two previous owners. I have a bit of rust to remove here and there, and I kind of like doing that. The leather is the pitts though. That I will take care of in the future.

While waiting for the pictures to finish loading I saw the sidewall and said to myself, "self, if those aren't continentals I'm a monkey's uncle." luckily they were.


lucky for the monkey!

Great grip in rain: hard braking stop did not even engage the ABS nor slip. It was light rain though. Just amazing.
