RE: Pony got some new shoes...
I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but the tire setup you are running in the rear means the tire height is 28.5. This affects your acceleration, speedometer, and gear ratio. Just an example, but if you're running 1.5 inches higher your gear ratio will seem more like a 3.31 than a 3.55. Now I'm not sure how drastic that 1.5 inches makes on your gear ratio, but just using that as an example. Vice versa for a smaller tire height. If you went 25-26 inches, your car would seem more like a 3.73 over a 3.55.

Thats a pretty big sidewall for those wheels. Other than that it looks good, i like the black trim on the back.

+1. I agree. I do like the rims, but IMO the tires look like crap. Way to big sidewall

The sidewall did end up being a little bigger than I thought but I still like it, the next set will be smaller though. I just couldn't find a 295 or wider that was in my price range. Didn't want to go to small because I drive somereally rough roads here in Chicago.
