And since I went with the Michelin and got rid of the stock BF goodrich, the car drives WAYYY better

Looks great! Did you just put new brakes on the Vibe? Because they look sparkling brand new to me.

those are some of the best looking wheels I have seen on a Vibe... great choice. I'm going to have to look into those... I've been looking for some 18s for a while now, just can't decide.
