johnlummis , very nice set up. The kahns you have in your car were one of my preferences for my soon to arrive MCS. At this point I'm almost sure that I'm going to order the 17' SSR Comps which I think should look pretty good on my pure silve car. I am debating over the tires and I'm thinking about ordering just the rims from Tirerack and then have someone local mount some Toyo T1s 215/45/17 on them. Very hard choices when you have neither the car nor can you see the wheels in the "flesh", as the guy from tirerack told me " it is a leap of faith" to pick the wheels this way. We'll see how it all goes. A little over a week til I receive my car, mayvbe even sooner.
