Never thought that this gunmetal finish would work so well with red paint.

We haven't gotten much snowfall in chicago yet, but I'll report on how the Hankook i-pikes perform when we do.
Thank jebus my commute is only 5 miles one way....


Here's some quick pictures I took this morning before going to sleep (I work overnights):





The rear wheels are sunk in a bit, but I don't mind the look.

P.S. changing out the front wheels was a major pain in the *** due to a sixth stud that makes it difficult to
mount the wheel perfectly on the 5 bolts. In addition, I had to use a spare set of lug nuts I had laying around
from my altima to install these since the lug nuts from the sport rays 19's would not fit, just a FYI for anyone
thinking about this setup.
