Rims/Tires Came Today!!!

Finally decided on a rim choice last week. Looked at about every wheel site but kept coming back to these. I know it's not the style for a lot of you, but I was looking for a nice clean Euro type of look. They are the 17"x7" Mille Miglia Spiders with Kumho 215/45x17's. These are them on a Jetta

I got everything from www.tirerack.com -rims/tires mounted and balanced, locking nuts, 21 chrome lug nuts (don't know why they sent me 21, only need 12 + 4 locking nuts) everything to my door in less than a week for just over $1000. I never did get the info for the offset. Hope they ride as nice as they look. Still have to wait to make sure no more snow comes, the Kuhmo's look like they would have a hard time in snow.

yeah... i think the offset is 42 on these ones... and 7 inch wide... supposely the 17x7.5 adr m-classics with 45 mm offset won't fit our car... at least that's what the golden apple guy told me.. so... i didn't end up getting the m-classics...

=D

now it's time for a drop... i'm still thinking if i should get help or just take it to a shop...

A 1.5" drop would just be about perfect for me. But right now I can't justify the time and money to get it there. So at least for now, there's no drop in my future.

Jamz, those are mad nice, i think they would look sweet on the muffaleta white. I'm still struggling between 17's with a 2" drop or 18's with a 1.5" drop. I'm a fan of the Mille Miglia's Actions(they're only in 17"s though)...the gunmetal-looking Action Sports look nicer but i'm not sure about it on a white CL...
