I drove to San Diego to pick these up. They're 16' Regamaster Evo's in gunmetal. The tires are 205/40/16 Falkens, but too small. I dropped my car on some H & R's (for an RSX); it lowered my car about 1.5-1.75 all around. That's why there's a big gap. I intend on changing the tires to 45 or 50, but i'm not sure which one. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

nice and smooth look to it

yep just re-lower it with something other than the rsx stuff and you'll be set :D

the wheels look so miniature in that tire size... i'd recommend getting the 205 50's in 16 inch size

I paid $1200 pretty much for the rims alone. I'm leaning towards getting some 205/50's, but the best price I found was about $340 for some Kumho's. Anyone know where I could get a better price in So. Cali?

Sweet Man.
I got those wheels in gunmetal for Christmas.
They are going on a black ep. Just FYI, I got
205/50 tires and I have a 2 inch drop on sprints.
Good choice.:D

My friend hooked me up. I found out that some place will give me some 205/50's for $300 mounted and balanced. They're some japanese brand. I might jump on it. I should be able to sell these tires for $150, right? Hope so....
