hello guys:

picked some some new vossen 19's, deep concave wheels.
255/35 285/30-
got some Michelins(Pilot Sport AS PLus with 45K mile warranty), and they're okay, still getting used to them. From what I have heard they're kind of loud, and it's true, surely louder than the Mich's I had before.
They only offered 100 bux for my old tires, (3K miles) so I told them
no way, and laughed!
I do like this 10 spoke look in comp to the 5 spokes, it's a nice contrast between my cars....
damn modding is fun.....I'm having the coolest thing done to my side mirrors this week too.......can't wait for that!
thanx for looking guys.......

Looks awesome!!! I have the exact same tires but I think some of the noise is just due to having less rubber and more rim.

Tehy may be loud, but those are some of the best tires on the road..

I had Michelin Pilots as OEM on my Caddy CTS....worst garbage I have ever had. Flat spotted EVERY time the car was parked for more than 24 hours, refused to balance correctly. Eventually pulled them and replaced with Pirelli P-Zero Nero's....all problems went away immediately.

looks very nice, now what about the sideview mirrors?

thanx park,

it's happening this week......have not seen any other cars with these..

man, that's lame to hear....guess time will tell for me.
what were the sizes on your Caddy?

I have only read negative things about the PZN's....

Those wheels look awesome, nice choice.

Looking sweet. I'm a big fan of Vossen especially the CV3's. Can't wait to see those mirrors.

Very nice! Good luck with them..

found a nail or screw or something in my tire this afternoon

made it just over 24 hours.......LOL......there goes 370 bucks!!

Nice. I'm a 5-Spoke guy personally, so those aren't totally my speed, but if they look good, then they look good, and they look good. They surprisingly really work with your ride (again, considering I always like M-B's with 5-Spokes), and the colors are so flush with each other (paint and the paint on the wheel). Also, probably nice and fun to contrast your W212's as much as possible.

many thanx!

haha, me too.....isn't a HUGE mod, but it will be very flavorfull

thanx man

man, I felt the same way.....in regards to having two very different looking 212's....
I shopped around a long time.....(since Aug7th, and even before) for wheels.....I toolike the five spokers......but these are very different.....
thanx for the comment

Looks good I'm a big fan of those Vossen wheels.

Hyperion so your getting the side mirror mod done after all?! Did you get any info on it?

many thanx

not sure I know what you mean....info?

We were discussing on another thread the LED side mirror mod where you described there to be a white LED (constantly on) in addition to amber indicators. Did your modder provide any info in regards to how this is done? Or are you just getting the LED puddle lamps installed?

I call "LED lights constantly on" in regards to the rearview mirrors turn indicators.

Let's take bets and see who wins!

Nice wheels. Michelins are expensive tires. I've had the low profile pilot sports in 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 on my Lex and they ran very surprisingly comfy. Very sticky tires and treadwear rating was a high 450 range. My only neg about my tires were that the treads made the car track towards the right. At first, I thought it was my alignment, so I had that checked out. Later found out I wasn't the only one that had this issue...it was the tread pattern that made it track to the right.

Looks great!

looks really good Hyp, I like the offsets, nice aggressive stance

I'm hoping to get a similar stance when my wheels arrive Tuesday.. otherwise, I may have to check out some H&R spacers, we shall see soon enough

exactly right....I do pull slightly to the right AND have an appointment tomrrow at the stealer......maybe I'll cancel.....

thanx for the commment

yes, that's the one!
I won't be there during the install, but the mirrors come off and are very labor intensive.....I hope they can get some good pics for me to throw up for you guys......
I'm calling it the 'CW Mirror Mod'

The wheels look great in color, style and size!

I have/had Mich PS2's on my other cars and like them. I find the Pirelli PZN's are somewhat are very sensitive to having just the right air pressure to give them an "in round" feel.

Looks great!! THanks for sharing! We need mooooarr pics
