Got my new wheels yesterday (thanks to PTGT Redman for the sweet deal!) so I cleaned 'em up and slapped 'em on. I like 'em, how 'bout you???

Mille Miglia EVO5 17x8 with Dunlop SP Sport 9000 225/45-ZR17 rubber.

They look good Mike. That's skinnier rubber than stock isn't it? At first I thought you'd gone with 16's but I think it's just the missing rubber I'm seeing.

Sharp looking rims though mate.

I like it Mike!
Hope you like them, I miss them already
Guess you worked out the lug nut detail...sorry about that.
Looks awesome...fills out the wells nicely.

Height is equal to stock (+1). Hey, Beacon, I like the hood. Looks awesome. Mine is in, just have to get it painted. My father's friend got it for me for an awesome price.
Got the Airraid for the GT as well for it.
Looks great tho.

Beacon - my stock tires were 205/55-R16 (remember, my car is a LE Turbo Lite, not a GT) while these new shoes are 225/45-ZR17. Overall tire diameter is around .10 inch.

PTGT Redman - no biggie with the lugnuts, I got such a good deal who am I to complain? I love the way they look and drive, thanks again!

I like. Simplistic, but stylish.

Wow that's weird. My eyes musta went screwy, looked at your old rims and sure enough I can see difference. You're right though I was thinking you had the GT kicks and not the LEs.

PTGT - Good to hear mate, it sits on the Airaid perfectly. Looking forward to seeing yours mounted!

Looks good Mike, almost like a new GT with the new wing and all. But Mike, do something about the Bird of Paradise and the grass in the cracks of the drive way. We've got PT folks back in the mid-west and eastern seaboard who will froun on anything TROPICAL. Looks good man, see ya on the 22.
