(Verified Tire Rack Customer)
This is the first wheel/tire package that I personally purchased through Tirerack.com direct. The process was very easy and the mounting of the tires was a big convenience as I usually buy my wheels from car model specific performance vendors and need to piece together tire packages as well as installation efforts. The tire/wheel package comes well packages to protect the finish of the new wheels and comes with additional hardware such as appropriate lug nuts and hub centering rings.
As for the wheel package, I selected this particular wheel set based on outside supporting research to confirm the overall fit would be within tolerance of my OEM fender and ride height specs. The low price and weight of the wheel was what drove me to this selection. My intent was to drop the diameter 1" from stock and hopefully maintain or improve on unsprung weight per corner. I'm happy to report that I got an overall drop of 18lbs from OEM 4 wheel/tire setup, while also increasing traction due to a 1-1.5" additional total track width increase across the new tread widths. While the tire setup is not ideal for heavy rain or winter, it's just a minor tradeoff since I run a separate dedicated wheels and sport all season package. The data tire rack provides on the wheels and tire spec pages is strong driver for me buying tires here.
