I had seen these rims on the Malibus a couple times and really wanted them, so when the chance came around to grap them I did. tires are a little big(215 compared to the 205s I had on) but they dont rub so Im fine with it for awhile.

Looks good! I really like those wheels! If money wasn't an object I would have looked more into those!

I love those rims, If anyone has those and wants to trade for my SS rim's i might consider something . My rims are 98 % perfect.

If I lived closer to you I would take you up on that offer in a heart beat. Ive wanted SS rims since they came out, just no money to get them. Only got these cause they were a steal couldnt pass them up.

They are 215 55 r17. Wasnt sure if they would clear at first it looks tight up front but its not rubbing so I assume ever thing is good.

Lets just say I had a good connection. I almost had a set of these about 2 weeks ago but complications got in the way so when these came up I jumped at the chance to have them.

Ecl-

You had 205 on before ? What was the purpose of that size choice ?

The 215/55/17 @ 26.3" I don't think you could go much taller..

215/50/17 = 25.5 stock

Those Malibu 17's would look super Hi-Polished.. (they look Good now)..

Nice choice 17 x 7 & perfect backspacing..
