I have had this car coming up on 3 years now. Over those 3 years I have only repaired, driven, and maintained this car. It is nice for its age and mileage (hit 253k today!) but I never really switched the car up. I bought it with the spoiler and wheels and only added a volvo lip.
I decided to switch it up and found these wheels on craigslist. I liked the width of my original wheels (235/45/17 michelins) but I never liked the sidewall profile and ride height.
I bought new tires, hankook ventus hrII and mounted them yesterday.
235/40/17s. They were more than I wanted to pay but the right size and fit the wheels. And here are some pictures I took with them mounted up! it dropped it about 1 inch over the previous wheels and really fills out the side walls. only 2mm difference in offset.
Falken Hanabi
4x100/4x113
17x7.5
et42
17lbs!!
The wheel tire combination is suprisingly light! (maybe 40 pounds). My friend suggested I get bmw center caps, we will see about that.
The first pictures were in harsh sunlight and I edited a few of the dusk shots. Enjoy and tell me what you think!
