    I wanted to do the same--- but--- my wheels were black instead of silver. [ wife's are on her 2012 'v' ] I just got 16'' wheels and tires [ Michelin Premiers ] and changed it all. My car had a bad ''wandering'' problem so this was one of the first things I did to change this--- not for looks only.

    What rims did you get Lester? I'll have 32k on mine next month and I'm not sure how the OEM Goodyear's will last, so I'm always looking for ideas. Did the 16's with the new tires change the speedometer/odometer readings any?

    Best I remember, they were ''Konig Lace'' is what they called them. As far as I can tell, not hardly any difference in speedo, I got 205-55-16's after looking closely at Michelin's stats on the tires and tried to get really close to same height, within .2--.4'' ---best I recall. Some had posted that the factory tires place the speedo a little fast, and mine would be fairly well on accurate.

    Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
