new wheels and pics

i got a set of all seasons that actually fit my car, as opposed to the set that were supposed to fit but don't(and are still for sale, PM me), and mounted my new rims for the winter.





the tires are some cheap random all season, blue streak stilettos, on my 18inch Saturn Aura XR O.E. rims. feel free to leave comments, or flame away, i love them.

Those look really nice. Just take off the saturn symbol somehow and you're set. Once you drop it that will be one sweet looking ride.

Edit: Nevermind, I see now what you wrote at the bottom of the pics.

no daytime shots yet, but ill post them a.s.a.p.
i ended up just buying them on ebay from a dealership. i went to my local dealer and they wanted 1499 for the O.E. wheels and tires, which is what i wanted, the goodyears eagles ls2's were a pretty decent tires, i have them on my malibu and i like them. but the O.E. size doesn't fit, not in that specific tire anyways(225-50r18). so i got a package deal on ebay, 800$ shipped, got them in about a week. after buying the new tires that fit, total came to 1200$ but i'm selling the goodyears, so ill get back a few $$$

yea the 225/50 don't fit at all, they fill up the rear wells real nice, up front they actually broke a little piece of my side skirt.

pom??
i'm a big fan of vauxhall/opel/holden, thats really the only reason other than doing something different.
the grill is actually custom made with the stock grill pieces along accord coupe and universal mesh.
