Since I haven't been able to sell the 245/30 and 295/25 Michelins I received with my Iforged rims, I decided to mount them up before I send them to refinish. I love them. ... The color combo is perfect. Anthracite with the Olivin Green. Thanks Motorcitym3 for the outstanding deal. I want a meatier tire, but let me tell you the look with these Michelins are great. They also ride incredible. Since Miami doesn't have so many potholes. i think I am going to keep them instead of giving them away for the offers I have gotten. They are practically brand new. Anyway, now that I have made up my mind on the tire I am going to use, I am just waiting for my TPMS from Nerweezy and TPMS adapters from Iforged to send them to WheelsAmerica, a local refinisher. I should have everything ready to go by next week. Until then a little teaser! Funny but the pics doesn't do it one bit of justice. OEM mtech up next!!!

Great looking set of wheels I would like to see a better shot of the rears in 295/25 cause i was thinking of getting more tires also in the rear.

Thanks for the compliments guys. The wheel specs are 20X8.5 and 20X10. Don't have the offsets. I don't think Iforged releases those.

Cwest: I would much rather prefer a 275 or 285/30/20. It offers me more rim protection than the 295/25. However, it is what came with the wheels so I am making the best of it.

Here's one showing the rear. After I get them refinished, I will post more!

I would never have considered that color car....until yours! Looks good, and with the M tech Kit it will look great!
Nice job.

Nice job.
That's funny... I had started to regret the color. I originally liked it because it was so rear, but as time passed by, I was thinking it was a color for old people and with the shadow line installed it started looking like a Camry dx... However, once I started to get busy with the mods, I kind of appreciated not having a color that everyone has. The wheels really set it off. It looks awesome and I couldn't be happier. It was a huge risk on color: Here it is how I bought it... What was I thinking?

Exactly! No offense to those over 50, (I'm 40 myself) but that color is generally reserved for those over 50 for some reason. But man, yours is looking sweet. I can't wait for the kit.
PS shadowline is a huge difference. I did mine a year ago and it makes all the difference.
