I think these wheels are played out but they look great on your car! Every time I see this specific setup it is hard to believe they are 17" wheels.

Are they the same tires front and back? How is the ride quality and cornering feel with the taller sidewalls?

I got that from some here in town. About 90/10. New York is no place for 19in wheels with 265/30 tires. I actually cracked two of my rims on a man hole cover which was sticking out of the ground about 2in. I was to late to miss it due to the late reaction because of the car in front of me. These wheels though are Form and Function. And now the car is pretty much on rails.

They are different tires front to back; the rears are R-compound NT01's. Fronts are reg's. but the difference in ride quality is TREMENDOUS. The cornering is unbelievable!!! The car is literally stuck to the ground!!!!!!!!!

I'm one to always "TRY" to be a littel DIFFERENT. there's one other guy up here in the Tri-state with these wheels, and he's in different state than me so; their not so much played out over here. For me at least. Remember i powder coated my old wheels just because that black with the polished lip style got crazy over here.

Looks good. Any issues with rubbing when running around NYC? I still have no idea how you drive that around NYC. I can't even imagine I saw you blowing down midtown a few months ago. How do you do it?!

Nice wheels! IMO I think it would be even nicer if you drop it another 0.5 inch because the tires are so fat.

I have no idea myself. 2years and I've been lucky But finally the city got me. thats one of the major reasons I went for this setup. but as far as rubbing; the rear only/and only under tight cornering or steep drops.

City driving isn't that hard after about a few months you get used to it -- then again my car isn't dropped and doesn't have a body kit....but its like 2nd nature to me to dodge crap in the street

But nice wheels man!
