Default FINALLY! Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaa!



The anticipation is finally over! 20x9.5 HRE 648R full polish with 295/45x20 Pirelli Scorpion Zeros! I'll post better pics later. Just thought I'd share these for now. Thanks to Peter @ www.wheelexperts.com and all at HRE especially Guy. The decision was very tough but I couldn't be happier with the 20s. My GF loves them. I have to say they are perfect. Wide to the flared wheel well and enough sidewall to keep the SUV look and feel and to protect from curbs. Saturday I will install the TRD performance air filter.

Those look killer!!!

I may be doing something along those lines, how did that change affect ride and handling?

What I mean by that is it make the ride bouncier, less smooth, and much much better handling are you seeing?

It looks like that set up is for all street, couldn't take that off-road right???

Thank you all for the kind words.

Cess, I'll do a writeup on the details after I've driven on them more. I'll keep you posted.

Kash & RX,

Thanks for the kind words.

Peter,

Thanks bro. I tried to send you some pics but I guess I sent too many. Your email was full. Let me know if you want any others than the ones posted here for your site.
