I have those in 16". I like them a lot, but sometimes wish I had bought 17's. Here's a couple pics.

this might sound kinda dumb. but i always thought if you could fiberglass one into the passenger air vent in the center it might look cool. You would lose the air vent, but who cares about the passenger, right? haha. You could either mount it vertical, flush, or even angle to toward you. Just a thought for a lil somethin custom.

well not that they suck. If you just need a tire the 711's that everyone includes are fine. Kumho does make some tires that are just as good as you can get, but they cost alot more. The quality of a toyo tire is just much much better. Toyos also arent as loud. Companies include the kumhos in their packages because they are cheap and they can get them even cheaper in bulk. But overall they are just an OK tire. I also like having the option of what i want. I got my toyos for the same price as wheelsnext sold them with the kumhos. They only difference is i had to pay shipping. But i also got the free lugs. It all kinda evens out to be the same price.

sounds like a good idea for a mount. hmmmm i dont know still shoppin for some ideas but i guess that is probably the best idea i have gotten so far but damn i just wish there is some way better. with your idea you can run the wires thru the vent and down so you wount really see anything which is hot too.

yeah, its the only thing i can think of in our cars that looks somewhat clean. everything else i can think of would put it too far away from you to use. it is also possible to mount it from the ceiling somewhere like next to the mirror, that shouldnt be a problem since its pretty light. if you wanted to do it really clean, you could even mount it on a hinge so you can swing it up flush with the roof. then you could run the wires along the inside edge of the headliner and down the a-pillar behind the plastic trim back to the radio. if you did it right that might be nice, it would hide the wires and keep the dash clean. Also people wouldnt be able to see it from the outside so wouldnt want to steal it. check out www.installationproducts.com they have some good wire management products for things like this. if i come up with any other ideas ill post em or pm you.
