I finally got the Miro's installed, here are some before and after shots...
I like the Continentals as well, I think however they are too proud of themselves, too much writing on the tires LOL!
Who was it that recommended the Miro's to me again? I wish to thank them for the awesome choice. Also no spacers required, i think they look nice. There is some vibration, the car was shifting to the right, but after I drove it for a while, the tires settled in and all was ok, I will bring it back to the tire shop if the vibration continues.
Does the car need to be lowered? or is it ok this way? Under load the car sits nicely

Nice!! Are those 19" or 20"? Staggered or square? I think a drop is in order. 
I need to get mine already lol

Thanks! They are 19"'s staggered. The only issue I have with dropping the car is the dynamic handling which will have to be removed if I change the suspension to coilovers. No?

you have the non-sport suspension. for comparison, here are pics of my car with 19" miro at stock height with the factory sport suspension option.

you got to change the window trims from chrome to black(OEM parts cost around $350) or just spray them which is not hard and cheap. this will make a huge difference

Looks fantastic! I don't think a drop is necessary
