      New Wheels! What do you think?

      Got my new wheels installed today. Tell me what you think.

      Nice! Much difference in ride or handling with the low profiles? What size did you go with?

      I defiantly feel the road better. I went with 17x7's with 205 40 17's. I think they have given me a bigger footprint so the traction factor should be better. My next step is to get hr lowering springs and drop it a little. But for now it will be fine.

      Your speedometer will be a tiny bit high.

      Actually, as the factory one is slow, it'll be closer than it was.

      I'm going to test it with the GPS today and see how it is. My guess is it will be awful close.

      Anna's car is about 5mph slow, so this should help get your pretty close.

      Wheels look great!
