      Mags + Tires + lugnut and nuts + installation + taxes = 1600$ can

      Those Rims are import from Australia.

        I like them! Have you considered lowering the car as well?

          maybe later on but I live in Quebec and the roads are ****y around here. My next move is tints but I haven't decided on what % yet. Maybe I'll but on 50% all around. The quebec law limits you at 70% in front and whatever you want in the back windows.

            A small drop (1" - 1.5") should not be a problem. Since your car is black, a nice tint will look killer......

              I only had the car for 4 months so I haven't looked into all the possibilities and I'm still under warranty so I don't want anytrouble if something blows up. Later I'll probably change the shift knob and put in a cold air intake or p-flow but that's pretty much it.

                you'll wanna look into lowering.
                it improves handling a fair bit.
                i'm on Montreal every few months, and i'm in hull once week or so.. QC roads are the worst i've ever seen (a little worse than NB)
                i have MP3 springs waiting to be installed with my rims... they lower, at most, 0.875", but they're nice and tight and improve handling.. maybe you'll wanna look into those? - they're REALLY cheap.. i got mine for CDN$120, shipped

                    ebay.. from some shifty little kid.
                    a good place to look is msprotege.com
                    lots of movement going on there...
                    toprotege.com, too... there might be a montreal website, too.. never looked.
                    you want the MP3, MSP or Racing Beat springs.... they're all the same thing.

                      Good call. Those rims + lowered + tint (on a black car) = one sweet ride!

                        vitrok..
                        is there a good place in montreal for window tinting?
                        ottawa has some places that are dead on for tinting... primarily, Final Lap and Gold Wing.

                          I dunno yet. I saw Sticky for 140$ but I heard it's cheap film. I could get something around 180$ with taxes are a place in Chateauguay can't remember the name though.

                            find somewhere that warranties their work, and find people that have gotten it done from there.
                            it's like $220 for a 13% tint at Gold Wing.. but it's worth every penny.. they get about 3mm from the edge of the window and guarantee their work for life.

                              Those wheels look very very nice. How heavy are they?
