    Thanks! The photos in your thread and comments on tire choice made this an easy decision. :) I'd definitely like to check your car out too.

    In other news I've started a Group Buy for the Strömung Catback.

    Thanks! I just cleaned up the stock basketweaves yesterday. I may refinish the 4 that were on the car. The spare wheel doesn't appear to have ever been out of the trunk. It's the original spare tire with no wear, which I swapped for one with a good tire.

    No problem. I really would've liked to run something like the Star Spec (available in 205/50), but the 205/55 is the closest-to-stock size and works well on a stock-ish ride height like mine. I'm impressed with the Yokohama S Drives so far.
    Agreed with this - I sized down by '5' when I ordered new tires (Falken 615K's) and its visibly noticeable to me how much smaller the tire sidewall looks. And I'm lower than you as well, its still noticeable. I'll be sizing back up when I get new wheels and tires next season.
