These things come in 16"-18" diameter and up to 17" in width in .5" increments.

17" wide?!?! HOLY FAWK.

I thought 18x9.5's were fairly wide...
Imagine 16x17's... LOL

That's not the correct fitment, but these are the guys that have them for that price, I think I took the last ones, they'll be getting more in July.

The wheels are on, and the tire pressure sensors didn't light up. each wheel + Tire weight 4 pounds less than the AT stock ones, and the car is a little lower.

Thanks Chrism.
Wasn't the tps supposed to lit up?
Well the stock AT's are for sale with sensors and tires. If anyone here interested let me know. If not I'll throw them on Ebay for a buck no reserve.

Here is what PB looks like with black ultraleggeras. Im considering darkening the corners, emblems, and possibly lightly tinting the heads n tails... or opening the tails and painting the flat silver parts in black. But who knows.
