      You will either love it or hate it. New 15" +0 offset Wheels

      You will either love it or hate it. But all i know is the car actually goes around corners now.

      Pro's: Handles better, Cornering is now improved due to low profile tires with directional treads and +0 Offset gives Wider wheelbase. And they where FREE!!!!!

      Cons: Looks goofy, and the tires are a 195/50 15, on a 8" wide wheel.

      Looks silly, but it now functions as a quick city car!


      Improvements will consist of Eibach Pro Kit, front camber kit, and Falken Azenis RT-615 in a 205/50 15... Still not wide enough, but its the contact i want on this car for daily use!
      Especially since its just driven 20 mins a day!


      Now if the aftermarket people could develop Sway bars, and Sport Shocks rear AND front!

      actually i dont think it looks that bad. lower the car and maybe some paint on the rims (not a fan of chrome) and it will be golden. it will def. generate some interest.

      do you have 2 miatas?
      You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.

      Its more fun to drive a slow car fast, rather than drive a fast car slow!

      +1 definetly lower it and it will look badass and handle very well with the wheels like that

      does it rub when you turn?

      You might also consider the Kumho Ecsta SPT's. I had some Azenis R-615's on my stock 14" wheels sized 195/60/14 and the 205/50/15 SPT's actually have more grip and will last a LOT longer. I think I only got about 15k on the Azenis. The SPT's have about 20k and have a lot more to go. This is with 2 track days on the SPT's. Only 1 track day on the Azenis.

      Definitely get that thing lowered!

      do you have 2 miatas?

      They are actually silver with polished lip. Plans are to paint the inners the same color as the car!
      and
      Nope, the Green one is my mothers, red one is my dads!

      They where on the red Miata in the background. My dad just picked this car up for $2k. He didnt like the wheels, so right now the Aveo wheels are on the miata, and i will be sporting these. Once i get a set of Daisy wheels and tires for my dad, i will get the aveo wheels back and use them for snow tires.
