I've never seen another Black one with Silver RTR's since everyone is still hung up on the whole black wheel thing. Here is one pic to start:

Nice stance from this angle.

Are the 275/40 installed on all 4 corners? and how do you find the Continental performance?

Yes sir 275/40 on all 4 and they are the conti dws all season ones. Got sick of seasonal wheel/tire swapping, which is why I got this setup and sold/am selling other sets. So far the tires seem great. Not quite as comfy or grippy as the dw's but still quite good. But i havent pushed them at all yet and not in rain yet. Mostly I drive really easy nowadays. Another reason I didnt really need super light and super grippy anymore. And it will be really nice when the temps start dropping in the fall and I wont have to worry anymore...

How much? I'll give you $10!! Lol. But for real, how much?

OP: They look good. Needs more lowz and wider tires.

I like the level of drop it has and yeah a little wider tires would look better but 275's arent exactly skinny, especially considering stockers were 235's. Also since these are all seasons meant for all the elements including snow, you dont want to go too wide. Trying to balance practicality with looks and performance.

Lol no worries your car looks great I think black wheels look good with red. Not a big fan of black on black though.

Sounds about right. It could also just be the angle of view. RTRs are 9.5 wide right? Is there a point where width on All Season tire performance starts to degrade?

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking to get RTR wheels soon and was looking at tires. I think I'll go with the Conti DW (summer tire) though which suits our weather. The 275/40R19 will also enable me to maintain the 27.7" factory wheel/tire height (factory tires are 245/45R19).

Post more pictures, side view if possible.

Yes they are 9.5 wide. Generally speaking, for snow and rain the skinnier the tire the better, particularly with snow.
