Looks good. I ran those same wheels on my Evo, but thought would look too sporty on the 350. Looks good though.

How dare you post the pics without telling me . Take some more pics after you get your center caps installed. I guess I'll just have to keep waiting for my rims to come in *sigh*

ES100: very good overall performance and traction.

the only drawback is it doesnt last as long......
you need new ones ~20-25K miles.

Thanks again for all the comments, everyone. As for the Yokohamas, so far I have to agree with everyone's evaluation of the ES100's - VERY good traction, but they are LOUD. I've gotten used to it, but they are noticeably louder than the stock Dunlops.

That's 23 lbs total from his previous set-up, which included spacers, etc.

I'm fortunate in that I park literally underneath where I have my stock wheels and sensors stored. My daily commute is only 5 minutes, so the sensors never go off unless I drive for a long time away from home. The system will trigger the alarm after something like 30 minutes of not detecting the sensors, and since I very rarely drive more than 30 minutes, my dashboard is silent.

Javy - this looks great! The look is amazing.

By the way, how about showing a little love for the alma mater and adding some purple and gold?

Just kidding.

I would try to retain the TPMS sensors.

Why not use it when you have it?
