    I've been meaning to believe me. I almost feel sorry for my Persona and that I left it so soon. :(

    I changed the pic the other day, but I don't think I can change my user id? I'll have to try on my laptop later.

    What I have to do an alignment, balancing or anything special once I get these new 17 inch rims and tires on? I only have 300 miles on the car.

    Should it be a road force balance or regular is fine?

    Dynamic. However your shop does it. Just not static.

    I have the stock 15" wheels. Just removed the hubs caps and bought center caps.

    Sooner or later are you going to get the 17 inch rims like the ones that I have seen?

    I would be OK with anywhere from 3 to 5 mpg hit just for much better looks overall but I definitely see your point. If you are going to leave the rims that came stock are you going to darkien them up a bit

    I have seriously thought of darkening them. Paint or plasti-dipp. Not sure.

    Very easy. Use a crow bar or a big wide bladed screwdriver to pry on spot away from the rim (the outer edge). Once you get it away from the rim it loses its grip and then just pull straight off. Don't slide the tool along the edge or it may scratch.

    Or just grab a hold of either side firmly and pull towards you... They should pop off in one fluid motion...
