My rims & tires just got in from www.tiretrends.com!!! They are 15" Konig Helium Bronze with Yoko AVS ES100s. They took exactly 7 days to get here from Vancouver. These guys are super cool and their prices rock ... highly recommended.

The pics kinda suck, as my camera does not do well with indoor lighting ... but here they are. Sorry no car pics yet ... It's late ... and I have to work :( These are going on my silver EP tomorrow ... unless we get snow again :(

according to purilator, each rim/tire package was 30 lbs! Even though it's approx, it sounds right to me. 6 lbs lighter than stock with 205 width tires ... these things should fly!!!

More pics tomorrow!!!

Get new lug nuts, those will rust in no time. I hate those lugs, I have them on my EK and they SUCK.. You can get new ones for cheap, get acorn style so they dont rust the studs.

very nice, but they're gonna look like 14's on your car cuz of that lip...anyway i do like the heliums, nice and light...

btw: are those bronze lugs? or was that just the reflection (chrome?)?

Those are cool wheels and look great too. I actually just sold a set of 17 inchers in Bronze off my car. They look nice though!

You know a car nut when you see wheels stacked in their kitchen.

Nice wheels man. I'm interested to know your feedback on the Yokis.

Nah - they are chrome. As suggested I may look into some other ones ... but for now I just want to put them on!!! We had some snow today, and were getting more in the next couple of days so pics will have to wait. BAH!!!! :( :( :(

nice choice ;)

Hope the color works out for you, and I cant wait to see how the tires look (mine are 205/50's this time around, but I'm already starting to browse for the next ones):D
