So i'm just diggin these wheels but I discovered the tires aren't really in driving shape, well not in "peace of mind" shape anyway.

My old ones are going back on and these are i'm going to polish the lip and paint them the same semi-gloss black as the plates. This will keep me busy untill I can actually afford new tires in a few weeks. I'm going to go with Sumitomo HTR-200s in a 185-65-14 factory size, I was thinking of going down to a 175-65-14 to shave 2lbs per tire but it would hurt rpms a little.
