My Little One Has New Shoes!

Stella is now proudly wearing 15" Falken Hanabis with Toyo Proxes 4s. She feels like she's on rails...incredibly crisp.

The factory Pirelli P3000s she came with were bald...and I mean smooth as an egg, at 17,300 miles.

while my Eagle RS-As with 32000 miles on them weren't quite that bald they were pretty bad. Thay started making the rhythmic thumping noise because the wear bars were even with the tread. Just replaced 'em with some Hankook H105s (215/45/17), still debating replacing the wheels. Right now it's a toss up between the Flik Wasps or ASA AR1s (basically the same wheel), but that's also dependant on whether I really want to spend more money to get them.

I like those!! Very good choice! I especially like the darker inside with the silver. I have been looking at similar wheels for Mia!
