never done this before so sorry if I get something wrong. I bought these after ruining the stock 3 spoke. Couldn't afford the rubber so I stayed with 16'' and used the old tires. I really like the look of these but hate the big wheel gap. Btw, is it possible to get a tire that will have less sidewall on this wheel? Someone said go low profile but upon asking a tire dealer he said that these are low profile.

Looks a lot better than stock

They are not low profile but if you chose to go that route on 16s, your speedo would be off. It would also look wrong, as they would be too small and your gap would be greater than what they are now. Keep the tire size that you have and when you decide to go with bigger rims, you can get low profile tires.

Feast your eyes on the first and only set of PermaStar Chrome Volk Progressiv TE's in the USA. They can be seen at the East Coast Gathering this weekend.
