Hooray it's not another set of RE92s!

16x7 RS wheels, painted black, with 225/50-16 Bridgestone RE750s.

Compared to a 205 RE92:

The rear fenders just barely rub the sidewalls. I didn't notice until I got out and looked closely at the tire after driving home.


I'm thinking black hood, roof, trunk, tinted windows, and blacked-out trim.


Initial impressions:

Stiffer, way more grip, general awesomeness overall. I need to figure out the ideal pressure. They came with 38psi which might be a touch high.

Now I need more suspension parts.

I saw the thread on Nawsock. Those should look really nice on your car.

To bad the guy with the $350 goldies got inundated and overloaded with replies.

yeah. Those would have been nice. I've always wanted the 6-spokes though. And black wheels. And to try to clear 225s. Plus my re-92s are bald.

Is that the bumpercover from the rear-ended car from Arizona? Cyberbackpacker bought it an parked it behind his church.

I got the hood and grill from that car.

Yep. I took the right fender too so my car looks pretty ghetto.

My sister rear ended someone with my car a long time ago and I'd been driving around with a slightly crooked bumper and slightly bent fender ever since.
