2002 Protege5 wheels on my 3. Tire size 205/60/16. This is my stock looking alternative to steel wheels for the winter. Let me know what you guys think.

Notice the limited Caliper Clearance. I dont think it could get any closer.

Close clearance on the calipers. Any rubbing?

No rubbing at all.. I was a bit concerned but gave it a shot. I'd say there is a good 1/4 inch clearance all around. If you look at the Ford Taurus caliper clearance mine is about as tight as that.
 
Cool!

how much did you pay$? new or used?

Looks good to me.


I bought them used from Zg77_0zZ. Nice guy and gave me a great deal! I got 4 perfect rims with tires for $275. LOL they do look a tad small on the hatch but still OEM looking.
