Opinions on Rims

I have been wanting these for a long time. About to get the money together to buy them finally but I want to hear other's opinion on how they would be on a black 7th gen coupe. Thanks.

The size tire I would probably be getting is 215/45/17. Might try to get the Neo Gen by Nitto.

Tenzo R Mean 6, not a bad choice...why don't you consider 18 inchers?

Wouldn't be that big of a difference in my opinion. Do you think it would look better 18 or 17?

Only wished that I could see how it would look with 18's because there isn't a 7thgen with these rims.

Yes, it's the gunmetal version. I was thinking of the gunmetal rims but I want to have some contrast. What I might do today is photochop some pics to see what they would approximently look like.

I dont think the NeoGens have a size in 215/45/17. I have the new NeoGens and like them. I have 205/40ZR17. Check www.nittotire.com for sizes. I could be wrong.

So I guess that I can use that tire for that size wheel too, eh? I admit that I am retarded when it comes to tires.

Base on the tire calculator, that tire is pretty small compared to stock. I mean it is in diameter.

215/45ZR17 looks like it would be the best but like I said, I am retarded about tires.

Ill see if I can get a dig cam from someone. Nitto NeoGens have a 215/40/17 which fits almost prefect on a ex. When do you plan on getting them? Ill see how fast I can get a dig cam for you.

things such as the polished lips cracking off from 15-20 mph contact w/ speed bumps. i saw one set that had the spokes craked off the lip just chillen by themselves.
