New Wheels & Tires

Here's the wheel I finally decided on: 5Zigen Fn01r-C, 17 X7, 15.5 lbs., wrapped in Hankook Rs2 Z212 tires.

My 07 MCS is PS/B. Think these will really go well. Can't wait, should be here by next week.

What do you all think?

Does anyone have experience with these tires?

Cheers.

Should look cool with the black inside the rim like that.

yo boomer. i have a 07 mcs also and was looking at this wheel too . post up the pics so we can all see the beauty . they look like they will be easy to clean as well. iam thinking of getting the bronze wheel instead of the silver but if your pics show me something better i will go with the silver and save a buck or two. oh what size tire are you going to run?

I'll post pictures of the wheel/tires on the car as soon as they get here.
Purchased 215/45/17's.

I was debating getting the hyper black but with a PS/B car I thought the contrast of the silver against a dark grey/black background on the wheel would be hot. After I get them, I'll decide if I have them powder coated a gloss black on the inside and around the spokes to bring out the contrast.

The Hankook's can't be louder than the Dunlop run flats, I hope!
