New look

Got the wheels and tires installed today and they look amazing. Very subtle, but also sporty and purposeful. The wider 205 tires look stout also and the tread looks really aggressive. Tires are Nitto NeoGen 205/50-15. I wanted to keep the TPMS, so I had Walmart remove the TPMS out of the stock wheels, install them in the Konig's and then install the tires. Unfortunately, when I installed the combo on the car, the front tires looked flat and when I double checked them, they read 10 psi......rears were in similar shape. I ran down to the gas station and filled them up only to find them low again less than an hour later.... So these will be going back to have them redo the install. These things called tires are supposed to hold air in!

But I noticed a few things in my brief stint behind the wheel. The wheels feel more substantial than the stock wheels, but not heavy like the 18's. They just seem more solid. The ride has improved, amazingly, over the 14's with touring tires. We will get these issues ironed out. On to the pics!
