Finally ...

[Franck_Qc]

After a long Canadian winter, without having been washed and with winter wheels and winter tires ...









now with the arrival of spring, cleaner and with summer wheels (TSW Kyalami, 15" 6.5 +40) and new summer tires (Toyo Proxes4, 205/55R15)










p.s. The colors in the windows due to the polarizing filter of the lens of my camera

It was a rather long winter around in the Maritimes as well. I put my summer rims/tires on a week ago and yesterday had to drive home in snow which wasn't pleasant.

Cars looks good. Any plans to lower it?

looking good frank!

only problem is that when you still w/ the smaller size of rim and get one w/ a lip they look sooo small.....especially when set next to the oem 15's....

any plans to drop?

Either you caught it just right, or you intentionally tried to catch the light reflecting off of the Toyota emblem in that picture; but either way it was captured beautifully!

Cheers! M2

guys you need to understand if us in Quebec lower our cars the shocks will last about a year with all the craters we have. We would like to (at least me) but its too big of a risk

Quebec/Montreal roads are no wheres near as bad as New Brunswick roads and I'm slammed.

OK ...
For a drop, no thank !
1- I don't like that
2- A dropped car has less suspension travel = more uncomfortable* and more unstable on bad road
3- I do landscape photography, I'm often in the trails in the woods or fields, a droped car scraped everywhere
4- A car with a good ground clearance are a lot more convenient

My 15" rims (TSW Kyalami):
Yes, a 16" ou 17"rims are more beautiful but:
More rims = less rubber, less rubber = uncomfortable*.

*= streets and roads in the province of Quebec are in very poor condition ! And at my age (46) convenience side and comfort are more important than the look

Crandall, I saw that in the news snow in N-B !

thebarber, thank you for the compliment

PK198105, yes, the last three photos are from Ile d'Orleans (Ste-Pétronille)

MadMax, it was not intentional to catch the light reflecting off of the Toyota emblem but I'm very happy of that

[WeeYari]

Simply beautiful.

I really am surprised we don't see more mesh style wheels around here. Those are gorgeous.

Right on, what kind of gear are you using to shoot?

Tiens, tu parles français toi aussi. Il y en a plus qu'on pense ici qui parlent français.

Merci pour mes humbles photos de l'amateur que je suis
