So long IKON8's!

Stupid things - as soon as I bought them this year (I was one of the first in the GTA to get these things) friggin EVERYONE and his momma got a set. In my work parking lot alone 2 other cars got them. I saw a set on an otherwise-stock Cavalier last week! Bloody hell!

So I dropped them off last night, and then picked up my new rims....bwahahhaaaaaaaa....but for now I'm rolling on stock 1.6EL Premium rims....boooo

Damn, you truly are a rim *****!

Take a pic of your car with the 1.6EL rims on it, I've never seen them on a 1.7.

no it isnt...... thats what i thought until i got my 19s. tires.com sells 215/35/19 Falken Azenis St115..... the tires that 75% of the peeps on thsi site with 19s are using....... $135 a tire, not much more expensive then 205/40/17 or 18s. Make sure to hit up tires.com for the best deals on tires.

here is a link: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...15&ar=35&rd=19

I hear ya, I got a deal here too, works out to about that. Still expensive considering I was gettin 17 inch rubber for like 500 Canadian MOUNTED, RETAIL. So i figger I'll just keep savin.

Hey HLM, how's the wear on the tires? Hold up OK? I"M worried about them wearing too quick, especially at over 800 Canadian per set of four.

i didnt go with the ST115. i was going to originally but the local shop where i got my rims said they could match the price of the ST115s for the 215/35/19. they said they would give me Toyo Proxes for 140 a pop and i couldnt refuse. i personalyl love the Toyos and would recommend them.... i dont know how they compare to the ST115s though but i'm sure since a lot of memebers have the ST115s on 19s they are a good tire
