New wheels and tires

[Welfarewagon]

Well, my wife's mini van needed new tires so I got online at The Tirerack and started shopping around. Needless to say soon afterwards I had a new set of wheels and tires for both her van and my Camry.
What we got was a set of 17" Sport Tuning T7 wheels with 225-55-17 Hankook Optima 727's on the van and the Camry got 17" Sport Tuning T5 with 215-55-17 Hankook Ventus V4. All I can say is wow, both vehicles look and ride great.

Wow that looks really really clean.

Just fyi if your ever using and impact gun your gonna need a regular (not black) impact socket to take your wheels off. It looks like there's not enough room for a impact socket, but all aftermarket rims are like that.

Thanks, I have the impact tools and compressor but it wouldn't have helped anyway, the lug nut holes are very tight so Tirerack sends a 13/16 thin walled socket to fit the holes, I can still use my impact and torque wrench but need the socket to fit.

Camry is clean because even though its 18 years old the paint job is only 2 months. I bought the car in January and did a complete repaint/rust repair on it. You can see the progress in the "Camry wagon owners sign in" forum

Very Nice! On both vehicles.

I love Gen3-3.5 wagons! With a little freshing-up they look absolutely cool and current. Dogs, mountain bikes, ski and/or surf gear, camping equipment, whatever.... fits in the back, in a ride with style!

Nice.

Have you thought about a roof rack?
