Thank you.....yes, they are 16x7 American Eagle Chrome 5 spoke wheels with 225/50/R16 Toyo Proxes 4 High Performance Tires. I had thought about going 17 x 7's and a 40 series tire but I wanted a little more sidewall.

cool, that is a major concern for us tho, the goodyear ls's that came on it are horribly noisy at highway speeds especially over 70mph,

Terry,
Looks great!! Actually, my Kumho XPTs are great at perfromance; but, a little more noisey & harder ride than the OEM BadYears. And/but, they look great.

Thanks Sooner, I must admit I like the chrome look. I want to put a few chrome touches to the car. I'm looking for a chrome grille at the moment.

You know it's interesting, my Toyo tires are very quiet, yet a very aggressive tread. Much better handling than my Good for a Year tires. Up here in the frozen north the Good Years are terrible on the snow and ice. I take the PT out for a 20 mile drive out on the highway maybe once a week just to keep it driven for the winter.
