    Showing off the new series wheels with 185/55/15 tires

    I got this setup from Carid for $657.87 shipped to my door. I received the tires mounted on the wheels as well as balanced, filled with nitrogen, hub-rings, and even the proper lug nuts (slotted type you can't get a regular lug wrench on). My stock ensaves only made it 40k and had dry rot. I have since put 50k on this setup and have only rotated them once yet have 50 percent tread left and excellent even wear. Tires are accelera beta and are under $62 a piece! With the wider tires the handling responsiveness has greatly increased and I love the look. Fuel economy took a 4mpg hit according to the odometer however it is less than that due to the fact that it is now underreporting because of the larger tires

    Looks good, Geojake. Thanks for posting those pictures. Any chance you could post one of a side view?

    So they are 15x7" with a +38 offset?

    Any idea how much they weigh?

    Are you using TPMS sensors?

    Thanks Eggman, and I sure can as soon as I get a chance.
    Top Fuel yes sir those are my wheels I am not sure how much they weigh but being aluminum they are very light. I am not using tpms and yes the light is always on but i just check my tires once a week no issues in the 10 months they've been on.

    I get a tad bit and I mean a tad bit of rubbing in the rear if i take a speed bump to fast and that's with passengers. However, the tires show no abnormal wear from rubbing every once in a while I expect too see 100k+ out of these tires.
