Wow, those look great! First time I've seen them on a Vibe! What size are they, 18's?

Those rims look really great on your Vibe! Those 17 or 18"? Now that you have attention drawn to the wheels. Will you paint the brake calipers?

They're 17's actually, and yes, i'm gonna paint the calipers and drum black. Keep with the subtle tones

Black will be a good color and easy to touch up.. That's the same as I was thinking

Nice wheels and good choice of rubber too. That is one sweet looking Vibe, you might say. Now you gotta lower it.

Deffinately....lowering it will be my next mod...then paint the calipers...then it's engine mod time! CAI...exhaust...speed chip...YEAH BABY!Maybe a sport appearance package thrown in...rear spoiler...ground effects....swapping the cladding for silver...So many ideas...so little time! How about this thought.....rip out the engine and drive train...rip out the rear...put in a new firewall...drop in a Northstar V-8 behind...roof scoop for supercharger.....I'm drooling!

oooo, very nice!Let me know how you like those tires. I'm considering the Proxes 4 for my next purchase. The tread wear life seems not so great though. Let us know how they are in the long haul!Dave

My dad is the rep of Toyo Canada for Montreal and the West of Quebec (before you ask guys, yes, I have some REALLY good deal on tires, but only for me and relatives... sorry). So he told me the difference between them. I have Fz4 on my Vibe right now, it will be my 3rd summer with them (Proxes 4 wasn't available when I got my Baby), I love them and never had any complain, but after this summer, I will go with Proxes 4. You probably know the Proxes T1-S, the better sport tires available on the market... well the Proxes 4 is an hybrid between T1-S and Fz4. smooth ride and durability of Fz4, but with the grip of T1-S. Like any Hybrid, the grip is not as good as the T1-S, and the durability is not as long as the Fz4. to come back to the subject of this threat, yes, I like your mags, no choise, they look like mine...

Hey Thewhite,Thanks for that info! How many miles on yours now? I put on about 25,000 a year. Would hope to keep tires for 2 years. The 300 rating worries me a little.Dave

well I can't really tell... I have 63 k on my Baby, but with three winters with winter tires. If you want to do 50 000 miles with them, you will be short with the Proxes 4. With the Fz4, it will be on the limit, but I think you will be good. maybe you hould ask to some people that have them non-stop since a while...
