    I know I'm more then a little late on this, but I think you should keep the stock wheels. I have just always been a fan of stock everything just lowered and narrowed. Very nice car btw

    Decided to put the Atlas Portawalls on ( 2" wide ones )
    break the bead ( saw a pic online and thought I'd try it....IT WORKS )

    rough up the inside of the rim so it 'grips' the portawall a little better
    ( I put the wheel back on so it was more stabil to work on )

    clean up the mess

    lay the wheel down, tuck in the port' by hand (some instructions say to "deflate the tire and pound in the port' with a rubber mallet".....well, by breaking the bead made it a little less Neanderthal )

    center the port' with the rim, reinflate the tire, deflate the tire and push port' in a bit more ( my back tire port' creeped out slightly; 'seating the bead' gave it a bit more friction to hold the portawall in place before the final inflation.

    one side done

    'Well, they sure are white!!!'
    I have to see the bug outside, but I think they'll grow on me.
