i think the tires look weird b/c the car needs a drop of an inch or two... then i think the rubber willl look good.

How much are those tires, and are they good in rain??

Ur car looks sweeeeeet!

@Questions:

Why not R compound on the wheels for autox? You can put R tyres on the stock rim ;)

Why do you have 225/40 front and 235/40 rear? Any reason?
