I agree the 17" Honey's visually overwhelm the car - too much silver.

The 17" U109 Bandits (Rally II style) however do not. Rubber selection is quite good too.

I struggled with the size decision too but settled on the 15s.

The Y/O 17's look really good to me - sometimes - and not so good sometimes - I don't get it...weirdest optical illusion - IMO!

The 17 bandits look great on the back but the lip is too thin on the fronts.

I'd really like to get the RMAC cast 18s but that isn't happening in my lifetime - or mini tubs neither 😒

🥰 my fifteens now...tires and fatty be damned

Paint color, years with or without chrome bumpers and other factors are going to play a part. Sometime a picture of a car and lighting instead of the actual car in person has an effect too.

Bill, have you checked to make sure those are the same correct rims as what you sent them? They are date stamped.
