      17X7.5 Wheels and Tires Installed

      Project Sedan Hotness is underway!

      Slowly converting to a Holden Barina as well as some custom items.

      I just finished installing my new wheels and tires! I wish I had gone with 16" but it's all good.
      17X7.5 4-100 with center rings
      205/40/R17 GE Altimax HP

      also installed the rear Holden emblem.
      I am going to tint next. Lowering it will have to wait, probably a very long wait.

      I still haven't had my TPMS light come on with these new wheels. I didn't install new sensors. We'll see once I get some more miles on them.

      Thanks! I am hoping to order the springs soon. Just doing the normal 1.5" drop. Then tint and grill.

      I did have my TPMS light come on at about 29 miles. Very reliable system the feds imposed upon us. lol. The new tires make such a difference in driving. If I did no other mod I would say tires is the number one thing to improve an Aveo from stock.

      With a body like that I would suggest pricing Coil-overs, nice!

      Looks darker when not in direct sunlight. Minnesota tint law is not very friendly. Not worth getting pulled over. My commute goes past many traps everyday. It is so much more comfortable to drive in now. Yes the side windows too. If you see the pics without the tint it helps alot.

      Make sure you get the shocks to go with the springs. Or go coilovers. if you use the factory shocks I'm betting you will bottom out the tires pretty easily.

      I will think of a better signature later.
