There is a Lorinser site in Mexico; saw those wheels several days ago and they are definitely SHARP looking! Was not looking for 17" rims... but if I were...

Would definitely like to hear how your ride is affected. How harsh? Handling characteristics? What tires (brand/rating/size) did you select?

<tapping foot impatiently>

Still eagerly waiting to hear a review on how the ride is affected with 17" wheels/tires, and other info requested above...

hi steven,
i´ve selected HANKOOK S1 EVO for all 4 wheels.
195/40 R17 on the front and 215/35 R17 on the back!

the 451 on the 195s and 215s tyres drives much more harsher on the road and in curves. at higher speed it drives more stable.
in my opinion the ride feels very directly!

but in germany we have tempreatures around 0-3° celsius, so driving doesn´t make fun very much ;)
