Default I bought new '06 10 spoke chrome rims

I bought these rims from OEMRIM's on ebay and they are beautiful, they come with the center caps and chrome valve stems. I highly recommend OEMRIM's. I can't wait until April so I can put them on my car. I will be putting Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 225/50/17 tires on these rims.

Congrats on the purchase, one of my favorite stock wheels. Any idea how much each wheel weighs?

Very nice!

Any reason you're not getting OEM spec 235/45/17 tires? I've got pilot sport a/s on my car now & they're GREAT!

that is oem spec for 2GS, not 3GS. The 06 17s are 7.5inches wide instead of 8. He probably could get away with 235/45s though.

The stock tire on my car was 225/55R16 80.86 in. circumference. The 225/50R17 are 81.21 in. circumference .43%. I could go with 245/45R17which are 80.67in. circumference .24%. The 235/45R17 only have a circumference of 79.6 in. 1.64% difference.

as long as that's not too big for a 7.5 inch rim, I'd go that route for sure.

Should I get the 235/45-17's because I think the 245's are to wide for the rims and I would prefer the wider tire. I know my speedometer and odometer will be off slightly but will this also affect the NAV system. with these rims I am still within the 3% difference recomended by 1010tires.com.
