Buying summer wheels (to use with my summer tires) for the Zed fo...looking for ideas.
I really like these: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelClo ... sort=Brand
I'd really like them to have a removable center logo like those do. (it'll say "Accepts O.E. center cap ")
You can click this and view all the wheels for my car (17", 225/45-17): http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/results. ... sort=Brand
...and you can also view each wheel on my car by clicking whatever it tells you to.
I also plan on getting ceramic brakes and new rotors at some point in the next few months.

Those two are pretty hot.
The rest are meh. I don't want all black wheels...they'll look like ass with my car color. The other chrome ones seem tacky.
If you look at the I posted, you'll see how the surface area would be easy to clean. I don't want anything super detailed that takes hours to clean. The ceramic brakes will reduce some brake dust, but there still will be some.

Re: New Wheels
so ive been fed up with my all-season tires for a while now. they are GREAT in the raid/snow, which is why i bought them - i couldnt tap the gas even slightly in moderate rain or snow without spinning out and almost got hit a handful of times - but they SUCK in hot, dry conditions. so i randomly sat down and picked out some summer tires on tirerack. then i realized i could buy wheels like the j-man was doing and swap them myself. so yea i went from having no inclination to spending money on anything to purchasing $1400 worth of wheels and tires in the span of about 20 minutes.
current tires: [url=http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=General&tireModel=Altimax+HP&partnum=25HR6AMAXHP]general altimax hp

Re: New Wheels
oh forgot to mention 2 things. cant seem to get the url of my current tires to work. 1- apparently phpBB/our mod doesnt like java script query links. 2- oem wheels/tires are 16". went with 18s with the new setup. 20s were too expensive.

so i hijacked this thread and now i'll complete it with pics:
Re: New Wheels
Turns out I need new brake pads. The fronts are down to the sensor and the rears have 1mm left.
Ordering the following...
Pads: http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brakes.j ... toModClar=
Rotors: http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brakes.j ... toModClar=
Gonna hold off on the new wheels unless I magically find some money. I need to have Mike put my summer tires on ASAP.
