New rims and tires on my 09 MCS.

Decided a couple weeks ago to get some new rims and tires for my 09 MCS.

Tell me what you guys thinks. Click the link for a small album of my car.

I'd also like to thank drewstermalloy, for helping me buy my first set ever. c:

Sorry for the slow replies, I'm a busy man sometimes. :p

I got Sparco Assetto Gara rims 17". The tires are General G-MAX AS-03 XL. They're 205/45ZR-17.

I was kind of skeptical on buying the tires but, they're actually really nice.

Also, thank you for all the kind words! c:

I'm actually pleasantly surprised by these tires. They grip really nice and the comfort makes for a pretty nice ride.

Drive a lot of highway miles. Torrential downpour suddenly yesterday with a lot of water on the road and the tires gripped tight.
Couldn't beat the price either.

Same here. I drive 30 miles to work, which is basically all highway. I've driven now in some pretty heavy rain and these things cling in the rain. We'll see how they handle in light to moderate snow levels, lol.

Was a good buy. If anyone is looking for some good all season tires, I'd definitely give these a go.

looks great, I was looking at those sparco rims for my clubman, (I think it was those sparco wheels anyways), but they were out of stock at tire rack so I went with some montegi's instead.

I've been looking at the generals for the wife's car, glad to hear that they sound like a great buy.
