Very nice! How much for the set of wheels and tires?

 

Here's mine.

Thats cool, I noticed in your signature that you shaved you 1/4 time by more than a second from the Manufacturer ratings. B)

 

Don't remember what brand these are, but they were the only 15" alloy wheel available when I bought my snow tires. They're a couple punds heavier than stock. I think they're the ugliest wheels I've ever owned.

At first I thought I didn't lose any MPG but after while I had a hard time reaching the 48mpg I was getting normally. I think there were a lot of other contributing factors though. Without doing any hard calculation I would say I am probably only about 2mpg lower than I was with the stock wheels. I also have a heavy speaker box with 2 12" subwoofers and a pretty big amp so that is not helping either. Driving around from Petaluma and Point Reyes all day then back to Oakland the MDF said 50.5mpg with 160miles on the tank. Not too bad overall. My next set of tires will make my combo weight exactly the same as stock so the milage should come back some. The handling is MUCH improved!

As for the 1/4mile time. Everything was stock at the time and I took the subwoofers out as well as the spare tire. That was the best time out of 12 runs and what I found is that the times got progressively worse the more I hot lapped it. If I ran back to back in the heat my times dropped horribly, moreso than any normal car. By the end of the day the temperature came up and I hotlapped a few times racing a Scion xB and by the last lap I was running 18.4. The ET is pretty bad due to the really slow take off in these cars but the MPH is actually quite good.

The rims ran about $140/ea (Centerline direct) and I cannot remember what the tires cost but I got em from Discount Tire Direct or Tire Rack. My buddy has a performance shop so I forget who I order what from. I just grab a catelog and start calling. lol

 

Here it is with the Scion wheels, (old)

and the Ray's Gram lights (new). PS- the center caps are on it now- they were on back order.

Those are nice! but I think I liked the Scion wheels a little better.
