Post SSW SP1 Professors

Well, I finally made a decision on which wheels I wanted, and decided upon the Professors. I called Jim at Tire Rack, and as usual, got superb service from both him and Tire Rack. I got the 17" wheels and the Fuzion ZRI tires to go with the wheels. I was surprised there is quite a bit of lip. I got the wheels on yesterday and I could feel the extra weight a bit, but there is definitely an improvement in the handling. Anyway, thanks Jim

Thanks Downhil. Yes, those are 17s with stock height. The tire sizes are 215/45R17 87W fronts and 245/40R17 91W rears.

Let me know what you think of them when you get em. These pictures just don't do the wheels justice.
