So what is your overall tire size?

I have 15 inch rims and just am not sure about going bigger.

Are this like 17 or 18 inchers??

These are 17". They look bigger because my ride height is too high. I'll have to adjust it down. I wanted 15's but couldn't find anything much out there for 4-lug. It was either Mustang turbines or Halibrands. Or convert to 5-lug...

Dave - these are dirt cheap, as far as wheels go. I can do the full set (wheels and tires) for just over $900.

Okay, you asked........ they seem to fit the style of your car, not my preference, but looks good for what you are leaning toward.

Eskimo woman said:

"It's like curtains. When I get new curtains, I ask you what you think. You say, 'Whatever, they're curtains. They're fine'.

So I'm going to say, 'Whatever, they're wheels. They're fine.'".

I'm somewhat ambivalent towards them. They don't look bad, but they don't make me say, "Where can i get some of those!?!?" either.

I have 17's, they fit the car nicely.

Craig, I like them too. They are a nice balance between Function and Bling. I would get 17s on mine if it didn't cost big bucks and I could hide it from wifey.

Ehh (he says while tipping his hand from side-to-side). Not in love with 'em but I can live with 'em on your car.
Paint looks great! Hope to see it in person next month.

Fitz, the rims is bigger, but the tires is smaller. So is bigger or smaller better?

So there is no confusion, I am going to put 22" on mine now. Cut out part of the trunk and make room for the inward tire. That way the trunk lid will look bigger with the BMW roadster luggage rack mounted. Need more room under the rear for the tow hitch for pulling all her clothes. Gordon will do all that free. Right?

Heh, heh. I'm sure he'd be happy to.
