My new rims and tires

Here are the pics of my car I think for the first time here, so let me know what you think. Thanks.
P.S. The rims are Rage Enduros 15", w/Conti ExtremeContact 205/55s.




I already have H&R spring, just waiting to get new struts.

It's a nice style, and I'm sure a big improvement over stock steelies, but they're 15s that look like 14s. The car needs at least 16s on it, IMO. Maybe I'll change my mind when you drop it. In any case, keep the pictures coming.

I am in college, so I could not really afford 16" rims and tires. The main reason I went with these tires and size, is because they are High-Performace All-Season tires, which was rated better then twice as more expensive Michelins. I might autocross the car a little, but it is still an every day driver car. I really can't afford having 16' in my summer time, and also getting winter tires for when it gets cold. Weather here in New England changes every 5 minutes, so I think this tire and rim size is the best for me, plus the roads in Northeast are the worst.

I will take more pics when the sun comes out, and also after I lower her with H&Rs. Thanks guys.

Well if you put it like that then you chose VERY good tires that look nice as well. Good selection

Ben - I got the rims on www.discounttiredirect.com for $82 a piece. And the tires for about the same. I will be home this weekend, if you are not working, I will stop by.

discounttire.com is a great place to get tires and rims. got my snow tires and steel rims from them and they were great for the last winter we had here in central mass.

think your new rims and tires look great.
