I had replied a few days ago but it didn't go in for some reason. Anyhoo....

I think the wheels would look nice on your ride...oh yeah.

I don't have experience with the TRZs, but i have tried both Yoko Avid V4 and Aegis LS4. Of those two, I prefer the Avids as they were slightly better performance-wise but definitely quieter than the blocky Aegis.

All I would suggest is that if you are planning to plus size your wheels, make sure the tire dealer adjusts the aspect ratio so that your speedometer and odometer are still in calibration...that or they recalibrate the speedo/odo.

Nice choice!
