17" Gold Wheels on BCM

Got my wheels last weekend. Finally had free time to wash my car and get some decent pics. I'm really happy with them. They look awesome when they're rolling, hope I get get some in motion pics soon.

They're Drag DR-9's 17x7 +40 offset. 225/45/17 Falken Ziex 512 tires. Lowered on DF210's.

Oh and big props to Discount Tire Direct!

Hard to say. I think 16's look ok on our cars if they're dropped with DF's or lower. But anything higher and they look really really small with the big sidewall and big wheel gap.

i love gold but i think 18"+ looks much nicer. I have 18s now and sometimes think they're too small.

LOL

I was happy to see the rear discs are close to the size of the fronts. On my VW the rears were tiny in comparison to the fronts. Looked real goofy with open faced wheels.

Very cheap, like around $100 per wheel. That sounds bad, but I'm not worried about it. If for some reason I curb one or scratch one I'm not gonna flip out. My wheels on my VW were over $2000 before tires. That was constant swerve and hope nothing happens. Didn't want to have that in my head this time, it's not worth it having to be worried about wheels all the time.
