    Way, way better. More grip, more brake, carves water like the road is dry, more stable with wider wheels/tires, steering now centers and returns perfectly after turns, better ride comfort, quieter, better clearance, better to tackle small rises. Better looks and the black hides the brake dust Definitely fills out the wheel wells and makes the car have a premium (Complete) look, for what it is... Now I can fit several different size tires on the new wheel size. Premium tires for this rim cost the same as the stock tires on the stock wheel...

    Very nice. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on those products. I think the first mod I'll do when I get a Mirage is the rear sway bar.

    Do yourself a favor and make it wheels/tires! It was un-drivable for me stock. They felt like wet noodles and it would fishtail in wet corners. I was able to deal with them until my wheels came in, but only with all 4 tires at 42 PSI...
