i'm not sure if i want to get 16 or 17 inch rims. i'm partial to black spoked rims with the machined lip. but, i was wondering if everybody could post pictures of your car with whatever rims you have. and can you please tell me the size of the rims along with the picture, that'll be a huge help haha. and even if you could post your tire size too, that'd be even greater. thanks a lot for putting up with my nonsense everybody haha. thanks again

I have some pics here: www.myspace.com/510sho They are Mille Miglia 17x8 on Summitomo 235/45s. I bought them from a lady that took them off her Volvo. After a while the 17s look a bit small to me. I really like the look of the 18" Volvo Pegasus wheels, but I'm not sure if they fit properly and of course $$$ is always an issue.

iv always liked smaller rims but I think i might go 17's for my next set. I have the 16's now and have a 12.5" brake kit under them. Keep in mind the smaller the rims the faster you accelerate and the faster you stop. Heres my car with 225/55/16's.
