Thumbs up SSuzy-Q Has Her Winter Shoes On!

Just picked up a set of 16" Steelies off of Craigslist today for $450. They were mounted with 215/55/R16 Blizzaks with an estimated 900-1000 miles on them. The guy was even nice enough to use his floor jack and air wrench to put them on for me.

Here's a pic taken with my cell phone... will try to get some more tomorrow when I get SSuzy-Q all washed up.

Keep us filled in on how the snows work on the SS as the slipperyness kicks in.

I would like to get something for the middle but just something to cover the grey metal, I don't want moonies or the wheel covers. Just caps.

it might just be the pic, but does yours sit a little higher in the back and lower in the front. Kind of looks like it has a rake to it. By the way....good choice of color! Looks a lot like mine with the steelies!

I think it's probably a combination of the pic and the camera phone. Maybe something to do with the 16" rims over the 17s as well.

Wow Tom that look's great.

Those wheels really bring out the Red in your car.

I believe www.tirerack.com sales covers if your intrested.

I thought I read that 16s wouldn't fit over the brakes? I thought 18 was the smallest that would fit, but this isn't the first time I have seen smaller. The 20s I put on BARELY cleared the calipers!
