The rain stopped for a couple hours today and I was finally able to take some pics of my new wheels on my car. They're 17" Mille Miglia mm 11-2 sports with Kumho Ecsta ASX 235/40/17 tires. I had stock wheels and tires on before, and it's a very different ride now. The steering is a bit stiffer and I notice more tramlining, but it's worth it for the handling improvement, which is better than I thought it would be. I've had a lot of fun driving around the last few days, and haven't felt any scraping at all. My car even feels faster! I bet the wheels added like 10 hp, hahaha  My friends don't understand why you'd spend money on a car if everything works, so I'm glad I have you guys to share the excitement with!     Yup! That's my 318ti.org sticker in the window __________________

Looking good. Time to consider a new suspension?
Regardless, the ride is looking nice. __________________

I got them off of Tirerack for about $1100 with tires and shipping. Not bad for a new pair of shoes. The style has been discontinued, so I'd order them soon if you plan to get them cause they don't have many left and won't be selling them anymore.  __________________
