Looks like they'd get taken out by a curb or pothole in no time. Maybe something where the spokes don't stick out so much at the lip.
Other than that five spokes on a Neon always look good to me. :thumbup:

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car. Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you're going when you hit the wall, and torque is how far you drag the wall with you.

Murphy's Law kicks me every once in a while so excuse my pessimism.
I like them...and your headlights. I just noticed them, cool. :thumbup:

I miss my neon at times. She treated me well and taught me a lot about cars in general. I will always have a special place in my heart for these cars. Heres to the 2gn community.

They are currently swammped with orders due to the sale they had. You should have gotten an order confirmation e-mail that said something like this...
Your order has been received. Due to the overwhelming response to our special sale, there may be a short delay in processing your order. We promise to process and ship your order just as soon as possible, so be on the look-out for our confirmation email with your tracking numbers.
They are a good company; I've order a few sets of tires from them and have always gotten them quickly.

What's wrong with nankangs? lol

I have the same Sport NS-1 tires and I love them. My friend is considering the NS-2 for his RX-8. The price is really good on them, and they grip well for what they are.
