old wheels....new car

Well my 17" TTE Tarmacs I had on my ST165 a few years back have made a return to the red ST185. I have 225/45-17 Dunlops on her now. Yes I know the acceleration is sluggish, they do barely rub with 1" spacers in the rear. I might try to buy a set of 15mm spacers for her. Well heres the links, hope ya enjoy. Let me know what you think. I'm spoiled on my 18" Volk SE37a's on this car, and thought the TTE's looked better on the black ST165. I dunno the combo of TTE's on the red ST185 kinda didn't look good to me at first but I think it's growing on me. I like the higher sidewall because this car I plan keeping at stock height, and it doesn't have too bad of a gap.

looks good too me, must be nice to have all those extra wheels/parts you can just take off one car to put on another 8)

i like the look of them, never saw the 165 with them got any pics of those then i can judge

I have never owned a set of 17s but have always wondered whether or not they actually do affect accellaration all that much? Particularly on the 165?

As for the wheels they look sweet on both cars, but i think your right, the 165 looks better.

for st185, 17s with a 40 side wall is pretty darn close to stock
