New tires = new pics

[M62pwrdE38]

Hooray for new tires! I put some Bridgestone Potenza RE-01Rs on today in a 245/45R18 96W rate on the BBS RCs for the summer. None of that crappy-looking "stretched" hoopajoop. I've only driven them for the day, but I've been very impressed so far; these don't seem to pull all over the road and hunt for crowns like the Pirellis I took off (granted the Pirellis were down to the wear bars almost). Also, no shaking or anything that some people experience with aftermarket wheels, the ride is still super smooth. They also provide more performance than I will need, but I am looking forward to pushing their limits a little bit, hopefully on some wet surfaces too. Anyways, on to the pics:

Can't forget the tire shine!

like the smoked corners. they look better than the ones you sent me ;) good choice :)

wheels look great and those tires look pretty good too. they look like they will handle well in the wet.

Very nice. Yesterday and today I saw three 7's going down the highway. IMO, there is not a better looking car driving down the road :buttrock The one I saw yesterday was also black, tinted, staggered and lowered, but I couldn't tell what type of wheels he had since we were going about 60mph. These cars are just a marvel to look at :)

I know somebody ;), ended up under $690 out the door (mounted, balanced, etc), they normally retail around $250/piece just for the tire.

Lamin-x. Got the whole front set, headlights, fog lights (the blue doesn't make the fogs blue enough for my HIDs still) and front turn signals for like $50 or so; I can't remember too well. I think I'm gonna redo the fogs in yellow and try smoked headlights since I have the lamin-x here for it, but I might end up just doing them clear. I have new lenses (ready to go on with my angel eyes) and don't need more holes in them like in my RF.

I'm still on the fence about it, but one of my chrome trim pieces is starting to come off, so maybe :devillook. Can't find where to get the kit, though...

Thanks for the comments guys!

Haha, yeah, I couldn't find a real smoked set, so I got OEM ones from Bekkers and used lamin-x, turned out real well.
