to be honest, my tires in the back are the stock bridgestones, i bought the new nittos but i havent put them on yet cause my tires in the back were still good before i bought em, plus i was getting a killer deal for the tires that i didnt want to pass on..the tires up front are nittos, those grip crazy i cant wait to put the rear ones on

cant afford down time, spray em takes a few hours to dry and what not, coating takes a few days, my rims took about 3 days to get them done

rims are super rozza from japan, 19x10 in front and 19x11" in the rear offset 38, I paid $3500.00 but you can get the U.S. ones for $500 a piece. Just make sure you let them know what size width you want.
