Looks great! That is what I'd like. Simple, snazzy and classic at the same time

Just curious...what is the weight of the 16" 9 spoke aluminums on the touring edition? If I get a set just for summer, I'd like them to be lighter (read: performance oriented).

I was thinking of a set of those as well, as I like the Torquethrust look. They don't have a big enough lip for me though. I want a deeper dish look. Boyd has a great set, but I can't afford the new ones, and can't find a set used. Maggie from race and Street has a set on her PT, and she doesn't like em, but I can't get her ta sell em' ta me! LOL!

That's exactly why I went with the 225/50/R16 as they had the same 24.9" diameter. As I mentioned in another thread, I'm kinda "old school" I love chrome 5 spoke wheels and I do like some sidewall to my tires. Don't like the looks of the larger wheels with the "rubber band" tires....just my opinion only.
