Originally I was looking for something more like the Racing Hart C2's or ADR M-Classics (bmw'ish mesh style) - but came across these for a pretty good price -what do you guys think?

They kind of remind me of the Velox rims.

Yah - the C2's were my first choice - but for the price of these, I think it's a good deal. jacuzzi, what $ did you get your C2's for?

That is a damn good price. What tire upgrade is included and what size tire - 215/40-17? I'm trying to get 225/40-17.

Incidentally, here's a pic of the tires I originally posted mounted on a car (nevermind what make https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif ).

if your gettting 17's, get 215/45zr17 or 225/45zr17. 40 series is not tall enough to stay within 1% OE rolling diameter spec and not only will your tire / wheel package look too small, but your speedo will also be fast.

quick rule of thumb is go w/ 225 wide and:

16" = 50 series
17" = 45 series
18" = 40 series
19" = 35 series

Yeah, on the tire size, I meant 45 series, not 40 - my bad, thanks for the correction.

Here's a quick rendition of what the ADR's might look like on my car. Not my actual car here, plucked from the net - but same color, minus my spoiler and interior. This would be pre-drop, of course. Nevermind the blue tint to the wheels, too.

Looks okay, just make sure you get 225/45 tires, as Reelax suggested.
