Instead of buying another set of 14" tires for the Rally's, I decided to go with American Racing Salt Flats 17X7 with 225/45 rubber all the way around.

Those look sick! Nice choice!

I just replaced the Rubber on my 15" Rally II's and that was a chore to try to find anything affordable that was worth while spending money on. Hard to find rubber for 14" or 15" anymore.

I then added the Glue on Red Line Stripes to give it a bit of flair. But not as nice as your upgrade!

Thanks for the link. A little spendy for my 17's. Both of your cars look great with the new tires and or rims.
