needed new tires. it was easiest for me to do it this way plus i like to change up the look for myself sometimes. there's always a chance the car might not sell, and i was getting tired of the Konigs. i had 3 sets of rims in a 15 month period on my 350Z if that gives you any inclination, LOL.

i checked Kyowa's site first. if a vendor carries the brand but doesn't list what you want, typically if you call they can get it ordered up.

I did the red trim with vinyl pinstriping from AutoZone for $6. I think if I left it all black it would have been too much, i like how the red breaks it up on my car and adds my accent color. My buddy has it on his car which is where I got the idea.
