Put my new rims on today!

I finally got my new rims and I like them a lot. They are 17" ADR Kasai's. Hopefully my new sig. picture is showing below so you can see them.

they look really nice, but IMHO, i think you should get rid of the chrome fender thingies, they would alot nicer without em i think.

Yeah, I REALLY want to take the chrome fender things off. They were already on the car when I bought it. I took one of them off during the summer to see what the paint looked like underneath and it's a little rusty and the paint is bubbling. So no matter what I want to get the paint fixed before it gets worse. But I'll keep the chrome things on for now until I have some more money saved up ro fix the paint. By the way..Thank you everybody for the positive response.

Well...I bought the rims at WhalenTire.com and I figured that I might as well get some tires mounted and balanced at the same time instead of having to wait longer. The 225/45/17 Kumho's were the lowest profile tires that I had for an option and I noticed that 225/45 seem to be a good choice, so I got those. WhalenTire.com is a good place but they messed my order up twice haha. The first time they forgot to give me a center cap for one of the rims and the second time they never gave me my set of chrome lugs and locking lugs, which really upset me. So I used my dirty old factory lugs for now.

On the website it told me what the speedo change would be, and this is what it said: "IF YOU TRAVELED 60 MPH WITH THIS TIRE INSTALLED ON YOUR VEHICLE YOUR SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ 61.2 MPH"

yeah

when I was at my rim place the other day I was getting prices on tires for a customer who wanted 225/45/17 and he said that was too small for a maxima.

I can't wait to get the fender flares off! But I need money to get the paint fixed. I think that my car will look a lot better once they are trashed.
