nice TSW's!

TSW's are nice wheels. I've had the Thruxtons on my GTO for a while, only had to replace one of the centercaps (fading).

I just picked up some Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec for the Civic, I'll give a review on those after I put them on.

For the Sonata. I will go with the Eagle F1s GS-D3. These are probably my favorite tires. And the Star Specs are supposed to outperform them.

I was going to go with the Eagle F1's but i read a lot of reviews saying that they get really loud after 10k miles, so i went with the GT's

Those tail-lights are great, possibly a little too dark for my liking, but they make your car look awesome! Good tire selection too! I'm geting a pair of Borbet LV5s (17) with the Eagle Responsedge from Goodyear at the end of July.

At first i wanted them to be a medium but then when i sent them off i told the guy i wanted em medium dark and im definitely glad i went with it...and since they were professionally done with paint/clear coat the light shines thru great!

WOW! Those are about 1,752% better than the painted wheel covers. Excellent choice!

So far so good i guess...no corners yet (mainly straight roads here)
I took the tail lights off and sent em to a guy named David in Texas that owns a collision repair shop (he paints tail lights on weekends) ill get some info on him later cuz my brother found him on a jeep forum that hes on.

I forgot to ask, but when you added your new rims/tires, did you also buy new TPMS sensors or did you use the stock sensors? If you didn't put any sensors in, are you annoyed by the TPMS light being on?

I'm not Menace89, but I'll answer for him. His Sonata is a 2006 model, which did not have TPMS. TPMS was released midway through the 2007 model year.


BTW, Menace, seeing that ALMOST makes me want a black on black on black car. But alas, I live in Texas, so it'll never happen. Yours looks absolutely amazing though!
