Your build thread doesn't mention you leaving...no Sonic now?

Thanks! I love them. They kinda look like they could be stock. It's not a whole lot different than the stock 15 and 16 inch wheels.
I took a picture next to one with the 16's for comparison. There's also a third orange hatchback you can see if you look through the windows of the white Sonic. The wheels are 17x7.5, tires are 205 50 17, offset is 38 mm, silver machined finish.
It drives quite a bit stiffer than my stock 15's did. It does handle better though.
I can't wait to put on my Eibach Pro kit!

Yeah, I found the wheels on TireRack and really liked them and then I saw a thread of yours with the wheels, which made me like them even more.
EDIT: What size wheel spacers would make them a little more flush?

Here's what you will be looking at. Mine are the Hyper Silver, on 235/40's in that picture. I have since changed to 235/45's to fill the gaps a bit more.

I have 205/50 tires. Are yours just wider with less sidewall?
I almost got the hyper silver, but the machined ones were 20% off. Couldn't pass that up.

You should try some kind of repellent coating on them to see if it helps, this stuff is pretty awesome and should help repel dirt so all you gotta do is hose it off. Ultra Ever Dry - Waterproofing Coating - Industrial - Tools - Clothing
