Typical "PC" option - Yeah bro, not my style but if you like it, GO FOR IT!!


Honest option - It's ugly as crap. Prime candidate for ghetto wheel of the week....looks like a typical cheap SUV wheel you see and any corner Tire and "Performance" shop....

What about something more like this...of course, this ES has a body kit and is lowered...



Victoria Tire is also a bad place to look for wheels...they sell a BUNCH OF CRAP for the most part.

Try www.wheelexperts.com instead. They sell good stuff...

Talking

Believe it or not I actually got my wheels on eBay and I found out they were from Victoria Tire. The only thing I would change is the tires they are on, Kumho Ecstas are definitely not my first choice for tires, but that will be a little further down the road.

Here's a pic:





Alot of fendergap I know, but that will be fixed soon!!!

AME Modelart knocks offs...1 piece with fake bolts to make it look like a 3-piece...QUALITY!!

...but that's ypical of Victoria Tire...they only sell the good stuff (<- sarcasm)

The tires aren't bad, I would work on changing the wheels instead...
