Please post pictures of the entire side of your car with your wheels on ***AND*** place the size in the SUBJECT area so everyone can see how they look in that size..

Also... be sure to vote as to what you have so we get an idea of what the majority is.

THANKS!

15x7 owns all.

225/50/15 tires are cheap as hell compared to most other 225mm wide sizes, and there's a HUGE selection, s-03's, g-force KD, potenza re730, avs es 100, dunlop sp sport 5000, 8000, and 9000, the pirelli p-zero. . .

not to mention they look sweet as hell

nice idea xlr8b4u :) I only have my stock 15's for now....but I'm still struggling between 16's and 17's....16's look too small, but at the same time are better for handling/acc. Can't make up my mind :(

You can't go wrong with the superleggeras. Super light, 10.7 lb. The volk te-37's are 9.8 or 9.9 lb and over 100$ more per wheel.

I got them from the tirerack.com, the 15x7 were 200$ (msrp is 250ish) and the 16x7 are 250 (msrp 300ish check ozwheels to be sure).

The tires are the yokohama avs es100 in 225/50/15, and they went for 81$.

so for all four corners, the total is 1124 plus shipping. Tirerack includes all required hardware, like new lugnuts (stock ones won't fit) and hub centering rings (stock hub bore is less than the hub bore of these wheels so you need a little metal ring to take up the space.

... Besides they don't really look right (got that Raised SUV look) until I get my neuspeed race springs installed....
