TTII's on the car! pics within... For those of you who haven't seen my other posts these are 17X9.5 for the front and 17X11 for the rear with Goodyear eagle F1 GS-D3 275/40ZR17 and 315/35ZR17.
The rubbing that I had in the front was the hub of the wheel rubbing against the caliper bracket on the passenger's side. I used the dremel tool to grind the bracket down some. Now the rubbing is gone.
Also the rear passenger side sits a little closer to the inner fender than the drivers side, and would rub when I would enter or leave my driveway, which is at a sharp incline. I used a BFH
and pounded the inner fender in the usual rub spots on both sides.
When driving I can definetly feel that they are heavier than stock. The fronts are ~50lbs and the rears are ~54lbs. The stock 16" wheels are between 30 and 40lbs with tires.
What do you think?

Those look great, man. I love those wheels and sorta regret not getting them. You can get away with a 4x4 look with those rims (they are more muscular).
Now, that you have wheels, are you happier with your car?
Edit: Clean car, BTW! What do you use on it?

I use Zaino. The last time I waxed it was about 6 months ago.

I was alot happier after I dumped my 16" stockers. You car looks evil, congrats.
Well, I think you've persuaded me to fork out the cash for some Zaino....Dammit.
