I d/k if it's the "aero" kit. I know it's not the a-spec kit though. Basically I asked the salesperson for all the underbody spoiler stuff. I'll check my documents and see if it's referred to as that.
P.S. I'm SO getting some video of my car rollin'. It looks like I'm rollin' on gemstones lol. The center cap looks like it's standing still while the spoke are revolving...

You know, as far as ride quality everybody has always told you the ride is going to be worse and you're going to feel every bump and stuff. Maybe I'm ride quality handicapped or something, but I swear to god going plus 3 sizes on my Acura and even plus 2 on my old Hyundai Tiburon I think the ride is smoother and quieter.

Ok..as promised after a few days of working hard and playing hard letting people jock my new rims i'm going to write about my great experience at Discount Tire.
- First things first; I was able to set up an appointment. OMG I almost cried when I read this on their web site. I can't count the times when I've shown up at Tires Plus practically at open and have been told everything will be ready in 3-4 hours. The guy asked for my name and car information and setup my appointment over the phone.
- I showed up with three wheels in my car (two in the backseat over a blanket and one in the trunk) and the other wheel and four tires in my friend's SUV. I pulled up and went inside and let them know who i was. The guy re-stated what I wanted done and I said yup and let him know I had the tires/wheels in the two cars and the valve stems for the TPMS on my passenger's seat. They took the wheel and tires out of my friend's SUV instead of having us do it ourselves.
- I went and grabbed some grub and hit up Autozone to pickup the Black Magic Tire shine (it's money go buy it now if you don't have some). Came back and there my car was sittin' on 20's
- I went inside and asked the guy how everything went and he replied good. I paid for the service and he told me he put everything back in my car except for the boxes. I asked him if I could have the boxes and he had some employees bring it out. The four stock wheels were all put in separate closed bags so they wouldn't dirty up the inside of my car. They put all my original lug nuts in a nice baggie too as well as my wheel lock.
- This is where the icing on the cake came. I talked with one of the guys who brought out the boxes (he must have been the one who did the work on my car) and he was talking about how it was a pleasure working on my car. I expressed my concern about rubbing and all that and he said after they put the wheels on my car they took it around the block and tested it out for rubbing and then re-torqued it. I was like oh snap! He said it didn't rub at all.
- Lastly, the TPMS sensors were installed perfectly and didn't even throw a sensor upon first run as I've read in other threads where people described getting them installed/transferred. Also, they did an awesome job using the gel or whatever to mount the tires on the wheels because they didn't scratch the chrome at all :-) And they balanced them with weights perfect because the ride is ridiculously smooth and no shake is in the steering wheel like I've had in the past when I've had tires/wheels balanced poorly.
Basically, if you have a Discount Tire in your area I would recommend them anyday. I would stay away from Tires Plus though ;-)
