So, the next two projects are wheels & tires and cold air intake.

I'm thinking the tires need to be wider . And I've also been looking at rims... .hubby picked up the 2011 Ultimate Wheel & Tire Guide for me to look at. The selection of rims is unbelievable!! But I think I'm gonna go with the stock style, just add a bit more bling by getting the chrome version. So I was looking at these at American Muscle, which come with these tires; Sumitomo High Perf HTR Z III. 245/45-19 F and 275/40-19 R. Anyone run these tires and what do you think?

I am not a fan but I tend to be standoffish when it comes to car parts/accessories

 

unless it's wax...lol

 

I think they will look good and I'm sure the tires will be fine. Looks llike a decent price also. Have you considered black wheels? They would look great with the Red Candy.

 

Those tires are sort of a "you get what you pay for" deal ... they will get the job done, but if you spend a bit more, you can get much better.

Depends on your intended usage. If it's just a cruiser, you'll be fine.

Sharp rims, they look like the factory ones, but in chrome. 275/40 is a pretty healthy size for the rears - should look hot.

 

I thought of getting the tires from AM as they are cheep. The problem is that they will have to send the rims and tires to you seperatly, so that you can install your TPMS from your old rims. Or they will ballance and mount them on the rims for you, but then you would have to buy new TPMS and have AM install them for you, or they'd arive mounted but with no TPMS installed so youd have to take them to a shop and pull em off anyway and pay for the install. Just seems kind of redundent getting the tires from them if you dont plan on getting new TPMS. If you plan to keep your old rims for winter driver and gettting new TPMS then I say even if the tires suck get them and just burn em up cause they're pretty cheep compaired to what you can get locally I'd imagine.

 

Oh, and AM cant be beat for service.

 

that was my thinking but I kind of beat around the bush

 

The wheels would be my choice for your car, the tires not so much, but I agree with the other tire comments-ok for cruising.
