new rims on and its snowing outside! lol.
Bolted up my new rims and tires last night and figured it was time to buy some insurance and start driving my car. Overnight it snowed, lol. Oh well, took her out for a quick boot today. So what do you think, how do they look?? (other then the car is very dirty) They've got a nice dish to them and reflect alot of light, in the bright sunshine they almost look white.

The sidewall is a little big but they still look good. Get some tire shine and lose the mud flaps!
----------
Upon second look, I notice they are 275/40- which is the correct size for 17" wheels. How wide are the wheels? Something just doesn't look right to me. Maybe it's just my mental fatigue getting to me.

they weren't my first choice, but for the price I couldn't complain. they don't look like I had anticipated.. I was hoping they'd look more similar to the hot rod style that Camaroguy18 has (and half the price per rim) If the tips of the blade were more square and not as rounded off I think they would have looked much better.
Front- 17x8 4.5" bs
Rear -17x10 5.73" bs
245/45/17 fronts and 275/40/17 rears.. Fulda Extremo's for rubber.
I think the rears do look a bit off because they're streched so wide that the sidewall doesn't look square. I'll be looking for a wider rear tire next time.
Camaroguy18 damn you have lip! The lips on these is close to 2.5" front and 3" in the rear.
Next time I'm going with a more square pattern and 18"!
