Just got some new wheels for my insight, and thought I would post some pics for anyone interested. I went with a 15" wheel, and some 195/50 R15 Falken tires. The overall diameter of the tire is virtually unchanged, but the new tire is 1.2 inches wider than stock. I hated the stock potenzas. They were predictably unpredictable on wet roads, and would break loose without warning. I've driven about 800 miles since having the new tires/wheels installed my previous average MPG was 61.8, and so far I am averaging 60 MPG. There is a noticable difference on the freeway. I find that I have to work considerably harder to maintain speed when conditions are less than ideal at 75, but for the most part 65 is not a problem. The car feels glued to the road with the new tires, and best of all I don't have to turn my radio up as loud when I'm on the highway because they are much quieter.

Hey nice ride, Love the wheels and tires they look sweet. So you're saying that falken tires are good? Have you ever had a toyo or nitto tires before. I'm asking cause I want to know what tire are better so I can get for my new rims. Anyway are you planning to do anything on the engine that engine could have up to like 1200 Hp but it's not leagal for the roads lol.
