I apologize to the purest. I too think a low profile and wider tire gives the car a better stance. I like the Cup 1 but they are heavy and still don't fill out the fenders that well. Phone dials are a mute point now that they are gone.

That said, I will keep my cup 1's for a while to see if I have buyers' remorse. I had originally planned to sell them. Ahh... Another thing taking up precious garage space... Lol.
