Default Well... atleast she looks fast!

Finally got some pics of my new wheels. 17x9.5 all around. I used nightshade and tinted the sidemarkers and 3rd break light too. Its only a v6. This will probably be my DD for a looong time! I hope you like. And sorry I don't have much time anymore so its dirrrrty! I do have tail light covers but i took them off... seemed like a little too much black. Oh and the tires are smaller than what they are supposed to me. these are just lasting til winter! Tell me whatcha think!

I'm glad that you went with the polished lips on the rims. I really hate the look of all black rims, but yours look very good. Good youre not ashamed of your v6. I had a 98 3.8l for 3 years as a DD; they get the job done!

Looks pretty good. Also looks like the tires were really stretched onto those rims. What size are they?

Looking good, not typically a fan of black wheels but the polished outside sets it off nicely.

Ground clearance though... I always wonder about ground clearance. I scrape the scoop piece underneath on my car already at stock height.

Looks DANGEROUS to me..wouldn't catch me going more than 10 mph just around the block on those..they are ready to pop when you hit a large pothole or similar...PLEASE change tires/wheels.

Agreed, those tires are WAY too stretched IMO. They look like 245's to me.

yea the tires are pretty small. they are 235/45/17s they barley fit! they are only gonna be on for another month and a half. these were cheap tires just to last the rest of the somewhat warm whether then the chrome stockers are going back on. The right size is 274/40s arnt they? im buying tires this spring! Thanks for the comments fellas

not a good idea at all to run those tires for any period of time and I would not go fast in um. The right size is 275/40/17 or you could even do a 265-285 but please get those 235s off.
