Enkei TS-10 17x8 + Firehawk Indy 500 215/45 Installed

Installed new tires today on a used set of 17x8 Enkei TS-10 +40mm I picked up for $350.

Went for a spirited mountain drive and the performance was PHENOMENAL.

There's curb rash on them but that's fine, this mininisnmy dailer driver with over 90k miles now.

My original 16x6.5 where black, I don't know if I should Plasti these ones black as well. Gimme some opinions :D

They look great! Are you still at stock ride height? What about alignment? Any rubbing?

Really nice looking setup

The Firestone Indy 500's are great tires and cant really be beat for the price. A little known fact is that they are actually sold as Bridgestone S003's in the rest of the world.

Again, great choice all around
