Picture Request: SS/SC with 17" wheels

Just as the title says, I'd like to see pictures of an SS/SC with 17" wheels. Thanks!

^ Just curious howcome you put on Smaller wheels than stock? DO you do alot of racing and you need the lighter weight? Or do you live in areas with alot of potholes (like where I live) and you needed a bigger sidewall?

Nice car BTW

I went w/ a smaller rim so i could run a larger tire.
The stock 18" rims are only 7" wide, thus the widest tire you could fit on there would be a 235. The rims i have now are 17"x8". I was haveing major traction problems, but didnt want to buy full race slicks. As displayed in the pictures, I am running Nitto 555r Drag Radials. They are 245,45r,17s.... And fit like a charm, no rubbing problems. I only drive the car in the summer, and i like to get traction on the street and the track. I am running Kumho Ecsta MX's on the rear in 235/45/17. They hook up pretty good, but 1st gear is still too steep.

18's look better. But if performance is what you're looking for... Then so be it.
