Because they are garbage. They're the cheapest 315/35/17.

I bought the wheels with these tires. Why someone would buy expensive wheels and terrible tires is beyond me...

Me and Desert are both running for president of the wheel subforum. I got a killer deal on some Fikse FM10s. I just got them on the car earlier this week so no pictures yet. Yesterday it was 60 out and today I woke up to a couple inches of snow on the ground

IMO stance, tints, and wheels can make any car look good. Now its hard to compare say a Camry to a vette or F-body but it holds true in a way..

Lol your right but the wheels break the bank so band sometimes its hard.. I myself reused my front tires on my stock wheels that had 3,000 miles on them and got some Nittos for the rear. IMO it worked out very well. **** Sumitomos though..

One thing with wheels like fikse and ccw is that people ain't going to pay attention to the tire that's for sure.

The bfg's were enough. I needed a sticky tire to help tame the 4.30 geared fab nine.
