You already know what I think of them

How do you like the way they drive vs. the stock wheels?

the car feels much more stable around corners, a little bit less body roll, i think its because of the lower profile tires. i do rub just a lil but in the front when i take HARD turns thats about it. i wont be going to the track with the car anytime soon anyways lol. the ride is a lil bit stiffer and they arent as quiet as the stockies. but man these tires grip grip grip!

oh so its rubbing on the outside? i would figure since the wheel is 1.5 wider there woulda been rubbing on the inside. if its rubbing on the outside then you can just raise it up a bit... the ride height that is.

also car looks awesome

they look perfect.

would have never thought they were 17's though, guess the ge8 handles them quite nicely. 17's look huge on gd's.

i'm glad there are a couple folks who have these. priced well, weigh nothing, and it makes me not want to get them anymore.(saving me some dough!)
