Its had three sets of wheels through its life. The stock 15" Steel Wheels with the hubcaps. Then the 17" ASA Silvers, now for very long trips and snowy months I picked up a set of these 16" Ghetto Gold wheels at a salvage yard and the Kumho tires are at 215/65/16 All Season, Temp and Traction are A, with a speed rating of H. From the Tirerack.
One thing I noticed right away was the difference of ride. The 17"* are a more agressive tire and the steering is a lot more firmer. These 16"* make the car feel very loose and easier to drive, as far as cornering.

Hmmm, I could just go get another grille, paint it gold then slap it on. They are really easy to take off and on. Might have to look into that....
