The 315's are perfect for this car; they're proportional to the width of the car.

Awesome job, thankx for sharing. Let us know how you like em as well as the ride on the tires since they are other than Pirelli's..
Thanks!

The ride is as good as it was with the stock Pirelli's though there is slightly more road noise. For tires this wide it's very important to have them balanced by a shop that has a Hunter GPS 9700 "Road Force Balancer" machine. You can find shops near you that have them here: http://www.gsp9700.com/

Very nice...the clean minimalist design of the wheel goes well with the clean look of Blizzard

i guess ill go against the grain and say that I don't like them. It may be the oversized tires on there that kills it.

I can understand not liking the design of the wheel, but to say the tires are over sized is shocking! The stock tires/wheels on this car are way too narrow and look completely out of proportion with the car, especially from the rear.

Thanks Mikey....by the way I've seen these wheels on a Rally Yellow 2SS and they looked better than they do on my car. The brushed finish really pops on the yellow.

Looks superb. The mb2's are probably my favorite wheel for the 5th gen.

That's why I like em, in addition to them being about 10lbs/wheel lighter than stock and 20x9/20x11 where I can get 275's up front and 315's on the rear.

It's about styling and performance. Too bad GM didn't do it right to begin with.

Agreed. The OEM wheels are actually some of the best looking factory wheels I've ever seen. They are just too narrow, and too heavy. And the OEM finish sucks horribly, especially the "polished" ones that look like a blind person polished them.
