Thanks. I figure skate  :rofl2:

Original steeles were 16". I had no idea how much going 17 would improve cornering and overall road feel. As I suspected I now notice every crack on the road, but I like how the car feels light,  'planted' and safe at high speeds.

Nice rims.  Are those the ones you sticked the H logo on?   What did you end up using for adhesive?

Thanks. Yes, that's them. I went to a scrap and got Hyundai hood and trunk badges, cut the Hs out of ovals, filed them down, chrome painted them and then used 3M tape, the best they make to stick them on. So far they are holding well.
