Default Rate My Rims Plus Tire Question

Hey guys picked up these rims two years ago just wanted to finally see how you guys like them all input is welcome, loved my original SS rims when my skirts used to be silver still but when I switched them to black decided would be a good time to do rims too, 17" X 7.5" GTR sports these r very hard to find rims anywhere and I was extremely happy with how they turned out think its the perfect colour offset

So now for my tire question so with these rims came wrapped with hercules griptis tires and they are okay quality I've always wanted to upgrade they do not have the best traction and I'm not even a hard driver only cpl times a week, I eventually will be using a rim and tire combo solely for the track so looking for a really good performance street tire thanks guys

I love the rims they go great with your car! As far as Monte rims on the buick they dont look bad at all. My buddy put his 97 LS stock rims on his 00 Buick century when he had it.

Rims look nice. I am partial to the chrome or polished on a red SS.

I like the red band on the inside. It looks good and I have been thinking about adding a stripe like that to my stock rims. As for the monte rims On the buick I say why let them sit and collect dust. They give the car a sporty look.
