Check your option codes. I Believe the option code for the performance pkg is 030.

I don't know how to post photos, I barely found my own post again....when I figure it out, I will post one with oem wheels and one with new set.

Any tips on how to expedite photo upload?

Well, they certainly wanted things to be easy for older newcomers... Can't see where it lets me display pics. I have it in their system, don't see any way to publish it.

I love the wheels and tires shown in this photo, but I think they are for the younger crowd, so I would like to sell them. I put fewer than 20 miles on before I decided to stay with OEM. They are:

20x9 front, 25 mm offset with 255/35/20 michelin pilot sport AS 3
20x10.5 rear, 27 mm offset with 285/30/20 michelin pilot sport AS 3

Niche Essen with black bolts. Purchased brand new and installed 2/10/14

MESSAGE ME FOR DETAILS. THIS LINK SUDDENLY WONT WORK.....tberdit@gmail.com. I will send photos.

Paid a total of $3783 will consider any offer. I know I am going to lose my *** on this deal, so take it easy on an old man.

Click on your vin number in the 5th post (your post) takes you to the page where it has decoded your vin, click on style and trim at the bottom of the page, FYI...I dont see any reference to a performance package.

Hey, that worked! Thanks guys. Let me know what you think of the wheels. I am considering returning to stock set. Those are pilot sport AS 3, if I remember correctly. They were brand new 3 days ago. Since it snowed the next day, the car has been in the garage, so they only have 6 miles. 20" front and back.

Wheels are brand new by Niche. appropriate width, just in 20" diameter. All could be for sale soon if I go back to oem.

Right click is just a term for selecting. Photobucket.com, open an account, upload your pics, on the right hand side there will be a box that reads "links to share this photo" the last link can be clicked which automatically copies the location.

You can then post the link here in a post and your photo will be visible for all to see.

Where are you located? You just bought them and don't like them? Why don't you like them? Would you like something like these? They are BBS CH-R's. 20x9 front and 20x10.5 rear. 25 ET front and back.
