Then it was $180 for a local shop here to take the tires of my stock 17's, remove the TPS sensors, remount the tires to the stock wheels with 4 new valvestems, mount the TPS sensor in the new wheels, mount the tires, balance the wheels, and a set of tuner lug nuts with key.

Total: $1,938

Cant beat it with a stick!
Where did you get your tires?!? That's a good price! What brand are they?

Because before stating a camber kit I said to lower it.

The rears are Dunlop SP Sport 8000's, those $215 for the pair.
The fronts are some crap brand, Wanli's, those were $240 for the pair.

Got em from a guy on ebay. I can get you his name if you'd like.

ahh ebay.

Hey I ran Wanli's for the front on my Touring 18's and they held up fine for a good 8 thousand miles. I took them off and they're still good even though they have a 'lil feathering.

They are cheap on e-bay, but they are missing out by not getting the 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears, the e-bay ones are only 8.5 and 9.5 setup.

Yeah I wish my back tires were wider, but I'm satisfied with the front width. It's already flush with my fenders.

Not true. I got them on ebay. Well, I emailed the guy on ebay and told him what sizes I wanted and he emailed me a paypal invoice directly for the same price. I got 8.5 front and 10.5 rear. 8.5 in front to accentuate the 10.5 rear lip

Unheard of is....the deal I just got on Ebay. They're bronze w/ tires which is the color I wanted for my Daytona Blue. Just got them yesterday and they are MINT except for two tiny scratches on the spoke - no curb rash and they look like friggin brand new. The tires have about half life left. I can't believe no one else out bid me! (there was like 800 views):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

I do have a couple questions for the Hiro guys - Do I need centering rings for these or are they hubcentric? Will my stock wheel lugs work to put em on? Will my TPS alarm go off if I don't transfer the sensors? Do I need an alignment? - thanks in advance!

I'll post pics of em on my Daytona Blue as soon as I get them on (assuming we don't get snow dumped in the next few days).

Later - T

My hiros came with hub spacers (plastic rings for the hubs), the stock lugnuts will fit fine. TPS alarm shouldn't do anything, but the sensors are very easy to transfer (just pull off and put back on). Of course you should get an alignment.

What size tires are you Hiro Guys running if you have a 19x10.5" wide wheel in back? the 275/35/19's look a little stretched on a 10.5" What's the next best size? I'm watching some hiro's on ebay right now and they come with 8.5 fronts and 10.5 rears, thats why I'm asking.
