Good discussion Dan. Thanks for weighing in. I'll keep you updated if I decide to make a move on wheels/tires. What I have now fits well, so I hate to deviate. Problem is I'd much rather be using a 15" wheel, despite the superiority of available 17" rubber. Compromises is right!
I think this is a good look below, that I would love to be able to achieve. Halibrand or FIA style - don't think it makes much difference. Going to be hard to achieve filling those rear wheel wells with what I have available today along with the large over the axle exhaust.
Presently, I can do this by simply painting my wheels black. Might be good enough? Here is what my car looks like right now. The stance is perfect and the wheel/tire/fender clearances are perfect to my eye. Just would rather have more sidewall than wheel.
a little photoshopping for a black paint job on the wheels...?
