V6 - Saving up for Mods, got some questions.

Can you reuse your stock ones or is the lug nuts different that way too? If they are, just get some great tuner lugs to add to the look.

I'll have to test when I get back. But I may just buy gorilla lugs.

Edit: The stock lugs don't sit properly. The base of the lugs are too wide.

On a side note 15-18 SVES350s are now the same price as the others.

Edit 2: Some pics with chrome vs black lugs. I personally love the chrome. I'm also considering having them powder coated bronze.

I'm loving the SVE S350s. Only thing I would change is to powder coat them bronze.

Did you get these mounted?

Nope I haven't gotten a chance to. I was going to have Costco mount tires on them but they refused due to not being OEM.
Right now I am just waiting for a sale for either BF Goodrich or General.

Watch Discount Tire on ebay. I don't know how often they do their sales, but that's where I grabbed by Nittos last year. It was something like $100 off orders of $400 or more so I ordered in pairs and got $200 off, fast shipping too.

I am thinking of ordering from Tire Rack and having them ship to a local installer. Free road hazard warranty. With some of the tires you get a $70 Visa gift card. Anyone else gone that route?

 

[Fuse]

@Nagare I'll give that a try. Any savings will work since local install is just north of $200.

I ordered tires from Tire Rack (General G-Max AS-05) and set up the install for Saturday! I can't wait to finally get these on.

Looks kinda like the Dark Stainless Premium wheels I had on at point, definitely a nice style on these cars and yours are dark already!

They are called charcoal, and definitely lighter than black, which I like because the spokes show up better. Black looks really good on yours, though, lol.

@MidwayJ Let me know how you like those tires. They are more likely the ones I'll be buying.

Sure, I'll post my impressions of them after they're on. For a longer term report, we should inquire with @zackmd1. He probably has 30k miles on his by now.

Hey now! That's not nice! Haha

Don't have 30k on them but around 5k. Still impressed!

From the reviews I've read the G-Max AS-05 are pretty solid. It'll be interesting once winter and snow hit though.

 

[MidwayJ]

That's not an issue for me in Texas. In that climate I might have considered the Conti DWS but of course those are more $.
