Default New Rims!!

Decided to ditch the heavy 17" Motegi Mr7's for some new 16" Konig Heliums (bronze). 14.5lbs vs. 25.5lbs.

Ordered some Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R 205/45/16 tires to compliment them.


for a sneak preview go here (let me know what you think!)

I have RE-03s and they are awesome. According to Tire Rack the 01s are even better. I only seem to get 5 to 10 K miles from a set so they are a little pricey. I figure that it costs me $1 per over enthusiastic corner.

re-01s are the best street autox tire out there right now you won't be dissapointed in the ammount of grip.

I always liked the heliums because they are replicas of ce28 volk racing wheels.

Depending what suspension your running you might get some rubbing issues if you haven't already addressed them because of the 205/45/16s. I had some rubbing with mine on the eibachs.

I'd like to see some pics
