Looks great and welcome. Are those tire stickers or did you paint the letters? I usually don't see white letters on Nexen tires.

I did painted them, NEXEN are okay, but they were free, so why not, i hqve the stock wheels wrapped with the bfgoodrich radial t/a brand new but these shakotan are not available in 14s 😭

BTW there was a post on ebay for a rear window spoiler, the seller wanted 160, i got it for 120 free shipping, probably over priced or not, what you guys think?

So those Nexen had white lettering stock? Hmm interesting. I think the Nexens are better than the Bf Goodrich Radials :heh:

The wheels and tire fitment looks great... but I'm not much on white letters.

Well i did mentioned that the tires were free and i painted the lettering and that i still have the stock wheels and the BFG tires and that the shakotans are not available in 14s, that's the reason why i did not used the BFG ones wich is too bad b3cause they are brand new, it's just for good look cause my gts is slow af 😂😂😂🐢🐢🐢

I'd never even heard of Nexen tires until recently...



I still don't know much about them, but I gotta say I don't really care for the big white letters either.
