Talking Pics Of My Hooptie...........................

Just got my wheels and tires from TireRack. 17x7 Speedline 2113 (light gray) with Sumitomo 215/40/17. Offset is +42mm. They look SWEEEEEETTTTTTT and make the car handle so much better. Now I just need a rear sway bar kit and strut tower brace. I'm so excited.

Let me know what you guys think...................

Yep some springs are a must. How much do those wheels weigh?

Not sure on the weight. Definitely more than the 14" hubcaps though.

I am not planning to lower it. My last car was lowered 1.5" and it didn't take me long to get sick of the harsh ride. Good struts would help that but I don't have the $$$ for all that.

The car still rides great with these wheels.

They are 15% all around. I had 5% on my last car for 4 years and never got harassed even once. Cops are pretty leinient around here.

AFAIK, 20% is legal on the driver and passengar windows and anything goes on the backs and rear window.
