Yeah, the later 16" wheels are hard to beat for practicality.

I think they would look more "right" with the gold and black anodizing (?) on the hubcaps removed, too; I'm going to try it in a day or two and see what it looks like (I might also paint the bowtie or the circle around it red).

How's the rear tire clearance with the 265/75r16's?
