New Shoes
Watchya think? I decided to not go crazy with spending bc I cant seem to keep a car more than a couple years and I'm already approaching a year. I wasn't going for mind-blowing looks, I just wanted something a bit more aggressive. I put Hankook v12 ventus' on and I LOVE them. SOOOOOO much better than the stock Contis.

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics. I couldnt find my real camera and I was in a hurry.

don't get too used to those v12's. i've had them on for a yr but only about 7500 miles and they are gone but hey were NEVER any good to begin with. be careful, especially when there is ANY moisture on the ground...they break loose so, so easy. car is side ways at like 1/8th throttle....zero traction. on dry pavement they aren't horrible but for the money there are much better options. good luck!

I drove them in the rain yesterday...they were MUCH better than the Contis. They also have amazing reviews..and other mbworld members have them on their 204s and love them. Maybe yours were defective?

Can you tell us what wheels those are. I was looking at similar wheels on the net and the offset didn't seem to work. I think the place was OE wheels or something. Very cheap but not reassuring sales staff.

Yep..That's them. Very inexpensive but the quality seems to be great from what I've read. Better than some much more expensive wheels I've had in the past.

And the offsets are 42mm front and 44mm rear. It's an aggressive stance but I like it. They're about flush with the fenders, maybe a millimeter or so wider..hard to tell
