Finally, Real Rims!
Look a lil big for my taste, 17's most of the time at least to my eye don't look good on Tibs. I don't really like the rubber bands for tires look that imports seem to do a lot.
You can always take the stockers to a recycling place, I'm sure they'll buy them for the material.

Keep the best tire and wheel as a full size spare. Then just trash the bent rim and part out the other two.
The stockers won't fit in the spare well right.QUOTE (hamhead @ Nov 12 2006, 12:54 PM)

They should do... all the Coupes over here come with 5 alloys as standard... meaning your stock 15" rims should fit fine. Have you tried putting it in face down?

agree, but i still think yours look hot. mine are almost like yours but weigh 17lbs each. you can get rid of some of that weight but getting a fiberglass or CF hood to a noticeable difference. i like yours better than the rotas.
