Yea and those wheels would look sick done that way too.

I just looked at my wheels... I'm a bit irked. They're 17x7. Guess I should take people's word for it. GRRRRRRRRRR. I was told 17x8. Least I thought so.

Least they're legit. Maybe I can trade my way out of them at some point. I want gram light 57s wheels or maybe DPT's. Either way I want 17x8.

I'll have to borrow Jeff's and see how they fit while I paint my current wheels. Need to order some GL stickers too.
Man that sucks they aren't the right size....happened to me once and now I make sure to look before buying haha

Yeah. I am way to trusting I guess. I was pretty straight up with what I was trading and now I'm kinda bummed. The tires weren't as new as I was told and one of them has had a slow leak since the day I put them on. I can't find it. And I really didn't want to go back to 17x7. I have 17x7.5 that were the PERFECT size for my car. I had zero issues. I would have just kept those and painted them had I known these were 17x7. But hell.. I'll rock em for a minute and maybe throw them up for trade pretty soon here and see if I can't get in to something different. If I'm gonna rub I'd rather rub on 245's than 225's. I had 225's.

All in all... just irritated. People **** me off. I shoulda looked but it was the middle of the night and I just wanted to get home.

Wish I could.

But 17x8 is about right for what I want. I want to run 245's pretty bad but at least 235's. I don't care about the concave flush look. If I had a sedan and could clear the larger size I'd probably go 9 inch and run 255's.

Man... I'd have to go with the regular wing or a small lip style wing. I can't hang with those big old trays back there. I'll probably be in hatch/wagon land forever anyways.
