Looks like the Kahns- Kooser you know these?

I bet if the stealer had a set of 22's for you his wouldn't effect the PSM.

You are probably right; however, I should mention the tire size is 285/35/22, which is greater than 3% difference in overall diameter, so he said it COULD effect PSM. Plus my stealer is a bunch of tight butts and they tell me every mod will void warranty.

I bought those same wheels for my CTT last summer. They're great wheels for the money and I haven't had any issues.

PS: For whatever its worth, my dealer said "Hey, nice wheels" when I had it in for service...

Man, didn't mean to copy your style, but damn, when I saw them online and saw your signature... I knew those were the ones I wanted... Nice acquisition..

Mine should arrive tomorrow (so says DHL- I'll believe it when I see it) just in time for the weekend.

Josh, are those rims noticeably heavier than your OEM rims? Is it affecting performance?

These are the same as mine although mine ar Kahn RSC wheels from the UK. I wonder if they are made under licence. The Kahn rims are actually made in Italy by "Azev" I believe. The price is very tasty. I paid $6624 for mine in the UK. I could have imported them at a fraction of the price!!!

They will look great. Heres a pic of mine.

Those really are very nice wheels, and they look like they will look great with any color and body kit.

Hopefully your "service tech" understands that, by going with lower profile tires, the outside diameter of your tires will remain the same, so you car won't notice any differences in "wheel speed." Nor will you require any re-calibration. Seriously, how can someone be a service tech in 2007 and not understand this?

If your overall tire diameter is different it could be a problem since it uses that number for calculating how to manage the stability in an emergency situation; I am unsure whether or not the computer allows you to input a custom diameter for PSM- Check with Evan (FVD) or Arling (Lucent).
Sorry, I didn't see that your diameter was changed.
