Years before any 3G TL and for months after purchasing my CL-S6, I chomped at the bit to get the crappy P215/50R17 Michelin Primacy MXM4's off of my CL-S6 for 235/45/17's.
to Ikeda for showing his 'dream' mettle to the senior VP.

+1 Yeah, I thought so too. Those 17" five spoke wheels really worked with the overall 3G design
