I think the wheels will look great. I would have taken the extra money you spent on the sway bars and put it into a better tire. I think you are going to be very disappointed in the fuzion tire.

Well the uhp had better reviews than other fusion tires and they are manufactured by bridgestone. now they are a newer design than the hri/zri which I didn't care for the compound or design. Look the uhp up it's a nice design my only concern was treadwear rating but honestly at this price point for an uhp all season I think they'll do nicely. I am into aggressive driving when conditions allow and with our rural Roads I can give my feedback on how they perform.

They have a nice tread design but that doesn't mean it'll handle good. I'm a believer in tires that you get what you pay for. Trust me I did research for about six months before I finally picked the best tire for me and maybe the fuzion will be the best for you. I just think that for the extra $150-200 you spent on the sway bars you could have got a much better tire, but that's just my opinion. I wish you the best with the fuzions.

Oh believe me I'm not one to just throw the cheapest thing on. I actually have never ran the fuzion uhp so I'm willing to give a new tire a chance. My previous daily driver ran general exclaim uhp during the summer and Michelin pilot alpine pa3 v rated winter tires. I run pilot cups on my c6 when it's tracked and pirelli p zero neros on the street. I've tried hankook, nitto, falken, kuhmo, so I'm trying the fuzions on this for now. If I'm not happy they'll be replaced soon enough.

Well I got my new wheels and tires on and they look even better in person! Ill post some pics this weekend, my baby needs washed badly lol. I cant give any feelings on the tires yet because i never push until i know the mold release chemicals have worn off and the tires have broken in. I can say that going from worn out factory firestone affinity to the fuzion uhp i already notice much sharper turn in and braking even under mild conditions. Once they are completely broke in and i can push them harder ill give my feelings on how they perform.
