They are 1/2 taller than the 255/40 19's that came on the car, as of now the speedo is more accurate than with the tires that came on the car (by GPS).

Haha I do too but the summer tires were getting pretty scary and it hasn't even snowed yet

We both got such a good deal on the roush wheels though!

I know the feeling, Freezing fog and Summer tires did not get along well.

Those new V6 wheels are so handsome on the 13s! They'd look just that much better if they were 18s though.

This I have to agree with, since if I ever do a GT front brake conversion I will need 18's to clear them. But then again, I guess it would be an extra half hour when putting on the winter tires to put the stock rotors back on

I am a bit surprised since the original style of this wheel was 18" but in any case, a nice upgrade from the older 17" premiums, especially on a SG car

I can't believe how good the all seasons feel. After riding on summer tires in cold weather for the past month, I can only describe the ride quality as "harsh."

The take offs are so comfy!

Those 13 v6 rims really are the best looking OEM v6 tire to date. My wife likes them better than my black Bullitts...oh well.

Sorry Pat, Bullitts look a lot better. Also your wife and my wife must know each other, mine said she likes them over the Performance Package wheels

I love these wheels. Yeah, you can go out and drop $200 per on nicer ones, but they are a great step in the right direction for stock! That said I just threw on my snow tires on some painted black 17"s that i got nice and cheap. With the window tinting I like how it looks, and i think if i add in some black badges, these winter wheels could give the car a much sharper look.

Anyway, great looking car, and nice wheels.
