Thumbs up New shoes!

Well, it took a while to find exactly what I wanted, but I think it turned out well. I got a set of 17x8 Amp Euro's in chrome and 215 50 17 Zexius Xi326 tires. Both are Les Schwab brand.

Handling and traction is much improved as well as the look!

[elvis] Why thank you, thank you very much.... [/elvis]

By the way, the offset is perfect. These wheels were specifically designed with the GM cars in mind.

Not bad. You decided against going bigger huh? Is it because you didn't want to sacrifice the factory ride?

Yeah. Ride. Warranty. Braking distance. Gas Mileage. Speedo could be slightly off. Also the cost jumped up a few hundred.

I decided it was better to stick with the factory specified size, all things considered. The wheels I got are "blingy" enough for me.

Although... the same wheel in a 20" is pretty danged sweet.
