New Wheels

Just installed new 17" OZ wheel with Yokohama tire from Tirerack. Picture now included, thanks to schreinbo.

SRQ, when you view the image full size in the gallery there is a text box with a direct link underneath. Copy that, then go back to your posting and click on the yellow icon with the mountain. It will popup a box and just past the link text and hit OK. Like this...


Nice wheels!

Thanks. I appreciate the help. The wheels and tires really make the car feel better compared to the 16" with Goodyear run flats.

Mine felt much different with my 18's with good tires vs the 16s with crappy worn out tires. With the run flats and bigger wheels the car was not as quick to accelerate but it also eliminated a bunch of torque steer and handles way better. When the clubman came out I thought the extra length made it look awkward but I have seen so many cool clubman's on here that I have changed my opinion and I think it is a really nice looking car.

I "really" like the look of those wheels on it. I can't see it close up but what center caps did you use on it? I purchased 18's on my car from discount tire direct and have to purchase aftermarket wheelcaps because I didn't like the ones that came with it. I wish I bought the wheels you got, they really look good.
