Pic 1 is before, the rest are after. I threw the interior pic in just for fun. I love the way the 17x9's fit and it looks so much better!

Thanks, I am getting ready to repaint the entire car, I even have my paint, I just need to have the time. But, I am keeping the original color you see. I cant wait to get it all finished, the hood and wing are in the garage. I will keep posting up pics as I go through the process. Thank you for the compliments.

I have 235/45's all around. But my car has been lowered. I can fit the width of my finger between the tire and fender, but they dont rub anywhere, even with the front wheels turned either way. I am very happy with the way they turned out. Dcrowe, is your car lowered or stock ride height?

By the way, if anyone is interested, I wanted to have brand new rims and rubber, JEG's sold me the combo for just a little over a grand, with shipping. Included were lug nuts, locking nuts, and chrome valve stems. They beat everyone in town by over 500 bucks. I may have paid more than what I could have possibly found on ebay, but last time I bought anything on ebay, I got scammed.

Thanks, the original turbines would not clean up and were scratched pretty bad, so I had them powder coated to match the car. I would highly recommend that for those type of wheels, all you have to do to keep them clean is hose them off.
