i think this might be the best looking kona 11/12 that I've seen to date. Love the stance, wheels, amount of tint, all perfect IMO!

Edit: what kind of wheels are those?

I hear you though. You know how it is, wrecks are more interesting then just the racing.

How much were those rims initially?

I bought the rims and tires from a forum member here last year for I think like 1500 shipped, can't remember for sure. But he has them on his car for under 100 miles before he got something new.

I love the suspension and the wider tires. She takes corners great and has great grip. The ride is slightly rougher obviously compared to stock suspension and 18" rims. But I love it, best mod I could have done on the car.

I do have one thing I need to look into, is I have a squeaking coming from the rear end when I go over bumps at low speeds. Obvioulsy the dealership won't do anythign under warranty as I have new shocks, struts and springs. I am going to get her up on jack stands and check the adjustable panhard and look to see if I find anything loose.

It's not too annoying, but I would prefer to not have it
