Mounting, balancing, installation cost: $O :lol:

specs: 205/50/15 on a 15" volvo alloy.

Kind of ****ty pics, the train started going by when I started taking pics and destroyed the nice view :-( And I was kind of rushed today. I suppose I could've washed the car today... lol it's been a few months.

First impressions: Less sidewall is awesome. Needs moar lower in the front. Handles MUCH better with the 205 tire. When I spin the tire, less squealing like my old goodyears and much more smoke, which was really cool.

That about it.

the tires and wheels look really good themselves. to me the wheels look a little small for the car, but maybe if you lowered the car it would be fixed.

nice to have a connection with a shop where you can get all that fo free
 
yeah, it'll be better when I get the cut diesels' and overloads in there as lowering springs.
 
Damn, I should've done mine black. Even though the 55's mess up the speedo and look weird at first, less sidewall is the best ever. 205/60 ftl, 205/50 ftw :[

Oh, and where'd you get those caps?
 
caps are from 850/s70 wheels or something... forget the part number..

less sidewall is the ****. The car is just in need of serious lowering now.

Apparently my speedo is too fast by 4km/h or something. Meh, All I know is it's shift point to get in to OD with barely any peddle pressure ASAP and it looks to be not that big of a difference.
 
anyone have a recommendation for a quality extremely low dust brake pad?

also, I was thinking, with my speedo off by about 4km/h that will affect my odometer eh? So for every 100km travelled on the odo it would actually be like 96?
