I wanted to keep the car as light as possible, so I figured not to go with larger wheels. Next up...lowering springs and rear bar.



P.S. It didn't hurt that they were on sale and available at the local Discount Tires.

That actually looks pretty good for 16's nice wheels! Are they bronze? Its kind of hard to tell in the pic.

They're 'silver'. I was looking at getting the gunmetal, but it would have taken longer and cost 50% more, because of the way they'd have to get it over to the local DT store.

i have seen those online and thought about getting them. You didnt have to buy new tires did you?

Nope. Kept the same tires. They knew about the sensors, so I didn't have any problems afterwards with the sensors needing to be reset (which isn't that hard to do - covered in the manual).

The great thing is that they have their own keyed bolts, which I don't know about other places, but they used these keyed bolts (aka wheel locks) to replace all the bolts - which you will need if you have stock steel wheels (width of ends of bolts for stock wheels do not fit alloy wheels).

They have two websites, BTW. There's the Discounttiredirect.com site, but that's if you don't have a dealer near you (much more expensive option). The discounttire.com site is where you'd want to get the 'Out the door' price, which includes all installation costs - this is something I had to explain to the local DT store, and brought the printed email reply I got from DT explaining that all install costs were included in my purchase.

Lookin good sir. If I hadn't gotten the TRD wheels I was seriously considering those in anthracite.

FYI
Those are called "spline lugs nuts", "spline-drive lug nuts", or "tuner-style lug nuts"...and they are nuts, not bolts.

Yep...I was being lazy and forgot what the term was, but didn't want to spend the 5 minutes to figure it out online.

But they are cool.
