      Got some new shoes for the Aveo5

      These just came in the mail today! So here are the obligatory crappy cell phone pictures!
      TSW Trackstar 4 in 17X7" +45 with Yokohama S-Drive 205/40/17. They handle incredible. There was some minor brake caliper bracket clearance issues on the fronts. So I took a file and took a little metal off the bracket. It seems to have corrected the rubbing, but I'm keeping an eye on it, I may need spacers. The rear definitely need spacers (only for appearance), and now the car desperately needs lowering!

      This thread is useless without pics.

      +1, needs pics. I know that they're 4 double spokes with red line all around and they're very light (considered buying them myself) but it would still be nice to see them.

      Not seeing anything at all, use a hosting site like photobucket.com and copy the IMG code into your post.

      It worked, rims look great. You need to drop at least 1.5" though, get H&R lowering springs, they're like 180 bucks brand new for the set. Are you parked outside a Home Depot? BTW, I love that color. "WHEN" my Aveo get's rear-ended, since I know it will eventually happen up here, I'll be getting a Tahiti Green replacement.

      It sure does need a drop, and in the pictures above it looks light blue more than "tahiti green".. Just the lighting though..

      Good, glad the photos worked, and thanks for the compliments. It does desperately need to be lowered now. I think the color looks off because of the cell phone camera more than the lighting, but I'm sure that wasn't helping.
      Oh yeah, that was Home Depot!
