Tires aren't worth it...I've used es100s and they are at the bottom of the list of tires I've used:

Older design Falken Azenis, Toyo T1-S, Federal 595SS, Hankook Rs2 or R2s...not sure which it is atm...

Wheels:

Look around...there are some decent used wheels for sale that are 4 lug.

Biggest problem with those wheels (regardless of how you feel about the looks) is the weight. That's pretty heavy (18.2 lbs.) for a 15 x 6.5.

^But they suck in the rain...and they're not too practical. They don't grip super well until they're warmed up. Honestly I'd be content with federal 595SS on my car. The newest RS or w/e they call it has under 200 treadwear and cost a lot. The 595SS grip well even in wet, have a 220 treadwear I think which isn't too bad.

Just my opinion..
