I just put on my orbit rims by reaction. they are a TSW side brand I guess you would call it. I took a risk and tried some Barum Bravarus 225 45 r17's. I'll post some pics if it ever stops raining.

Those are some rare weird tires. They are German but that's about all I could find written in english. Where did you get them and how much?

I talked to a polisher friend of mine about polishing the stock vibr gt rims to a chrome type finish. a lot of work, but I think it would look cool. he said it would be about 2 days of work per rim, ouch.

Those Rims look real nice with the Fusion. Reminds me of Mavrik's Vibe.

Next will be brake calipers and the center of the rotors. not sure about the colors yet. The rotors will probably just be a cast grey color to get rid of the rust. Then, I might change all the "GT's" , arrowheads and the pontiac on the back to reflective black. a la grafxworks. Then I'm gonna drop it about 2".
