New wheels!

I just bought some new 16" Konig Feathers and Nitto NeoGen 205/50/16's. Just thought I would share my insights on the products and the people I got the rims from.

I ordered the tires and wheels from Discounttiredirect.com, and even though they were backordered they still somehow still got to my door in exactly 1 week. They mounted and balanced the wheels for me as well. The free hubcentric rings were metal instead of that plastic junk. After all was said and done the final price was $798.00 shipped!!

So far I am VERY pleased with the rims and the tires feel amazing compared to my noisy Eagle F1 All-Seasons. The tires are very grippy and have a nice amount of give in the sidewall, where as the Eagles carbon fiber sidewalls would sometimes "pop" inward, quickly shifting the car.

Hope this helps a bit.

PICS!!

Good choice on the wheels/tires! I've always been a fan of the Konig Feathers. Are you running the 05-06 rear tail lights?

They are the 02-04 tail lights, but I wrapped them in Oracal Film, so now they're solid rubies. Definitely like em alot more than the 05-06's since I still have the reverse in the middle.
