I picked up a set of '12 Charger SE 17" wheels and tires, and with the assistance of a buddy of mine, Ryan, we threw the new shoes on in the parking lot of the place where I picked them up at. The wheels came with Michelin Energy tires, with 95% life on them, and the whole set has maybe 9k miles on them altogether. I got them for a great deal, a grand total of $350! I gotta say, it is quite a change visually, as well as physically, in terms of ride quality. The car hugs the road better, and that's probably due to the new tires versus my four year old Falken 912's that were on there. Ryan was also kind enough to take some photos and a video or two while driving through the seedier side of Tampa (so seedy, in fact, we passed a group of HCSO Chargers and Vics in the middle of what looked like a murder scene. If Ryan puts that video up, you can see us pass them.
Without further ado......here you go!
These are the wheels as they came out of the warehouse:

And now for some pretty photos all the way around, again courtesy of Ryan:
Here's a pic of Ryan tagging along behind me on the way to grub at McD's:

At 1:00 in this one, you can see the police cars on the right side of the road. Dunno what happened, but it looked serious. Skip to 2:29 for a drive by of my car by Ryan.

I can't thank Ryan enough for his help and his time spent just hanging out and shooting the breeze. We had a blast, and Ryan enjoyed his time so much, he decided to get a set for himself!
Oh, and ignore the fact that my car and wheels are dirty, and I really don't care that my tag is in the pictures lol.
