I had been noticing a vibration that had been getting more and more prominent and the feeling of the suspension and steering had changed. Sure enough, it was one of the rear tires (they lived a long useful life). Today I went and picked up a new set of rims and tires. I am once again reminded how this car steers like a scalpel. Rubber is the best invention EVER! Oh the rubbery goodness!!
I ended up with 17" Konig Zero's and Continental Extreme Contact DWS 215/45 ZR17 tires. I think I have found my new favorite tire (as soon as the snow starts, we'll see). And because I'm such a cheap bastage, I got both the rims and tires for $500 and $35 for lug nuts.
They are brushed on the front of the splines, black within and a red ring behind. I'm going to have the brushed aluminum splines finished to the Belize Green Metallic of the stock paint. I think it will look really good with the black and red ring.
