New Wheels, Tires

Posted April 19th, 2008 at 12:46PM

So early last week, before the autocross, I took a little detour and picked up some new wheels and tires. They’re OE wheels, popularly called “holies,” with 205/50 Falken Azenis. I needed something and got a good deal, although in an ideal world I would have found some nicer 16″ or 17″ wheels for daily driving.

The 205/50/15 tires result in a really small overall diameter, so my speedometer is way optimistic. It’s kind of a pain in the ass, I end up watching the GPS when I need to tell what speed I’m actually going.
