after about a month i've finally got these wheels on the ride. just in time too because we're starting to get great weather in TO. i was worried about rubbing but i've turned lock to lock going around in circles in both directions and didnt feel or hear anything. i've got a thumb gap from the tire to the shock which was one of my concerns. took these pics at night in the nearest well lit parking lot i can find while waiting for my mom to call me to pick her up from the nearby hospital where my dad is recovering from a triple bypass. i'll update this post later with daytime pics.

Wheels: WedsSport TC-005
Size: 17x8
Offset: +42
Colour: Gunmetal

Tires: General Exclaim UHP
Size: 225/45/17

Lug Nuts: McGard Spline Drive Lugs w/ Locking Nuts
Colour: Black Chrome
Valve Stem: McGard

these wheels and tires are such an improvement in handling. the wheels and tires are lightweight so acceleration is increased. another thing i've noticed is that braking has improved greatly.
