New rims and tires (pic)

Finally got some tires for my 96 pebble beige GLE to go on my new 2000 SE 16" rims. Got a good deal on some Michelin 215/55/16 MXV4 PLUS (please don't rip me on my tire selection because I was looking for a nice touring tire not a high performance tire, anyway got a really good deal on these). Here's a pic of the new rims and tires, tell me what you think.

Looks good, plus you'll stand out a bit more than the 97-99 wheels.

Looks nice...

Classy and elegant. Suite the color nicely as well. It does look odd with the wheel gap, but who cares it looks good.

I paid $100 a piece that why I went with them. I guess because there were 215 and not 225 or wider they just wanted to move them. I didn't ask, I just said slap in on.

I've already got the clears. I'll probably put them on tomorrow. I add some tint next and it will look like a totally different car, thank God.

Yes I did get them off of ebay

I went ahead and bought them for $375 + $30 shipping (I didn't feel like wasting my time by bidding since they had that buy these now feature). I personally think these are a steal, but I know some people prefer 17" rims (to each his own). Anyway, they were ground shipped UPS from Conneticut(spelling??) to Alabama and took a week to get here, but there were no delays and I'm very pleased all the way around.
