Well, I figured since there's a big holdup on the VIS hood (if there even will be one) I'd get wheels and tires for the Avenger, and when it comes to that (like a lot of other things) I have no clue what I'm doing. I'm looking at 20" Enkei AKP (http://www.wheelsnext.com/default.cfm?home=packages&action=dspPackage&brand=Enkei&model=AKP&color=Black%20w/%20Chrome%20Cap) wheels with Hankook Ventus (http://www.wheelsnext.com/tires/Hankook-Ventus%20V4es%20H105.html) tires. If it's not too much trouble could anyone confirm that the sizes for these are correct? (click links to see the webpages for them).
With a grand total of $1926.98 I'm getting:
4 Enkei wheels $1,068
4 Hankook tires $664
Free shipping
Free mounting and balancing
Free install kit
Security locks $24.99
Nitrogen fill $19.99
Road hazard warranty $150
Heck of a lot better deal than anything I could find on Discount Tire, not to mention I don't like most of the wheels they have. Again if anyone could tell me if these are OK to put on, that would be awesome.

Cant tell you if they are OK but I can tell you that would look awesome! Now I am going to have to try to convince the "Better Half" that I need to put rims on mine!
(I had opening the link also but I clicked reload on my browser and it opened for me)
These rims look nice. I wish the website gave more information about them. As long as they are: Offset: (http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=101¤tpage=92) 40mm Backspacing: (http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=101¤tpage=92) 6.10" Bolt Pattern: (http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=92) 5-114, they will work. The tires should be fine. They will cause your speedometer to run fast by ~1.2 mph (http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp).

Sweet. Thanks Err, especially for posting the pics of them (I NEVER remember to post URL images...)
I googled for more info and found this spec sheet (http://www.enkei.com/spec_charts/AKP.pdf)from enkei, doesn't say anything about backspacing, but the offset and bolt pattern are correct.
Now if I can just find some way to come up with $2000, LOL.

ACtually just thought of it, find out whats goin on with the tpms. I can almost doubt they're given u new ones. So either ur gonna have to pay someone else to do it or try and send em 4 sensors.

I don't have the TPMS option in my car. Even it does, can't they just snip the wire and set the code off at the dealership? She's gonna have to go to the dealer anyway to get the spedometer adjusted for the new wheels (if I can come up with the money to buy them).
