Default Put some old shoes on for Christmass.

Merry Christmass to all, I hope everyone is doing welll. My car had been sitting on Volks for exactly a year last week. I decided to put on the stock rims just for kicks, plus i need to use up those turanzas, which BTW dont grip at all comapred to the Toyo's.

Nothing wrong with stock. The IS has one of the nicest looking stock wheels IMO.

I feel your pain dude... I actually raised my car to a finger gap all around yesterday because the rubbing was getting really embarrassing and not to mention ghetto sounding

Thanks. These are actually one of my favorite stock wheels out there, not including supercars, etc. The car feels a little bit more comfortable, but it leans more on turns compared to the wider Volks.
I also noticed that with the stock rims the revs go up faster since the diameter is 1 inch smaller than with my volks. However the car is not faster according to the Vector FX.
