I posted some nightime shots a while back, someone asked for better pics... well here they are, they are 600 megs each

Looks much better than I would have thought! Please take that as a compliment and not a slam - I think it is tough to find the right wheels to make a classic look good.

Crazy painted wall behind you too!

Looks good, what size wheels/tires? What'd they come off of?

thats a really cool graffitti wall behind my bldg in north philly.

I'm pretty sure rim tire combo came off a 99 clk.

The tires are Z-rated michelin sport pilots, I forget what size exactly, but them might be 255/50 r17

I did a 400 mile round trip this weekend to my boat and back ... the car is incredibly smooth @ 95mph.

Thanks everyone for looking, I appreciate the comments and compliments. Anyone who wants to repost/ resize these is more than welcome.


Whoops, 600k not 600 megs

Very nice looking!!

If you can would you post the exact tire size? The width of the rim, their offset (if thats known), and any spacers you needed would be AWESOME as well!!

I do not run spacers on my vehicles.

they are ET 37 - I know what you're thinking, but a 17 inch wheel has a large inner diameter so that it clears the tie rod by default, the ET becomes less relevant on rims >17".

The ride is firm and responsive on the hiway and harsh at times on the broken and pockmarked moonscapes that masquerade as roads here in philly.

I'll get the tires specs tomorrow.

I like those a lot. Gives it a more modern look, for sure. I'm glad you caught the megs vs k part,, I was like holy cow, 600 megs each, that'll take forever to d/l.

Nice work
I love my 17s...wish they were pushed out a little bit...but they are nice
Jake

that is a great wheel style.. any rubs with the 225/50s?

wow! those are real nice....
