I turned 19 on Saturday, and got some money from my parents to buy new tires. So today I went down to Big O and shopped around for some new rims and tires. I ended up getting these.

They're 16x7 wheels with 215-45 Falken Azenis tires.

Thanks. I got a good deal on those tires too. Apparently the Big O wharehouse here doesn't stock them anymore, so I got them on closeout. 100 bucks a tire. :)

I'm not too fond of red. Plus whoever owned it before me got the crappy maaco special. Bad paint, with bad prep. Plus it's scratched all over too. Bodywork and paint are next on my list of things to do. hence why I'm exploring color options. who knows maybe I'll go with a darker shade of red. I still don't get how my paint looks so imaculate in pictures. It hasn't even been washed recently.

I agree, it is and exciting and rare ORIGINAL color, no way in hell would I change it, Maaco paint has to be stripped completley <you can't paint over it.

rims look good

I love my falkens. Nice and sticky. They technically don't even make this tire anymore since they changed the tread pattern on the Azenis. I've got the older style tread.
