Default What an Improvement Wheels Make!

Just bought these 99 wheels from a club member from this site. Had them shipped to me Friday and picked them up today and threw them on.

Wow what an improvement.

Looks good.

You could also go with a lower profile tire instead of the 225/60-16, 225/55-16 or 245/50-16 to maintain the original rolling diameter.
