post some pics when you're done.

btw - if you plan on putting them onto the car backwards, i suggest checking to make sure the tires are not directional and if they are - you may have to remove and remount the tires to face the other way.

Ya, I believe the factory went to the Primacy HP's for most '07's after the '06's with Yoko Advans got such bad reviews b/c of noise. The Primacy's are Grand Touring Summer tires so they'll bite, but not like Max Perf. summers. Hopefully I can get them to last more than 28K like my last set. The car just doesn't feel like you can throw it around like you can on 16's and 17's (I started on the stock 16's) cause of the weight, but you don't hear too many people complaining with all the 19's and 20's on here riding on stock brakes...

bit of a surprise when i got my wheels...all four wheels are the same, so the passenger side is directional one way and the driver's side is directional the other way...prefer the passenger side but still sweet...

will post pics asap

Wow, So I guess because of the snow you guys get, you won't be lowering your baby anytime soon. Looks good but would look even better with a drop.
Congrats,

How do the Primacy's ride to you? Still loving mine. I've finally even gotten used to the heavier feel and braking earlier...
