Default Picked up a pretty decent set of winter wheels/tires

I really HATE the way the gold looks with the 16" silver wheels, so I was able to get a set of wheels for the winter, not 20" Wald winter wheels like Gewe21but these will help avoid the car looking homely during the winter months. The member that I bought them from was making fun of me saying, "Not many people buy chrome Enkei's for WINTER WHEELS!!" :eek1

While taking pics, I noticed that the hub of the wheel says 'HI' next to the diameter/width/offset, so I guess these will clear big brake kits

It is REALLY cold today, so I just hit one wheel with the Meguiairs Quick Detail and Quick Wax, I will probably mount them sometime this week/weekend, and post a few decent pics ( I promise, no cell phone pics!! LOL)

Wheels/Tires:

17x8 Enkei Aegis 3pc
Chrome Finish/Polished Lip
235/45-17 Tires

D you should blow up a pic of your car with the 20's. Then take the pic and keep it in your car and when people look at you funny, just hold your big pic up and smile LOL. Nice winter wheels.

Thanks guys, I just wanted to give a clean look for the winter, I can't stand the thought of driving a bone stock car, even if it is for the winter! Plus if I run into a coilover deal that I just can't pass up, I can mount them! LOL

I'm having a hard finding a place for 3 sets of wheels though! LOL

Nice set of wheels but be wary of the infamous snow we experience in the northeast.
