Ride is nice and tight, not harsh or hard.
Such low profile tires require KNOWING the streets you drive though...

There are some good looking 18's in this thread, but I think that 17's fill the wheel well's just right. Some 18" wheels just look too big too me. Plus, you can get a slightly thicker tire w/ 17's and not destroy your new rims when you drive around.

I bought my MP5 with 18" ADR's and some low profile tires. Curbed my passenger side, front wheel the first week I had em. I was so used to my clunky 86 maxima and its tires, that I didnt realize the lips stuck out so much on these 18's. I have the stock wheels, but I'd like to get some other 16s or 17s, and throw some more practical tires on there. The 18s are nice looking, but I think they're a bit too flashy for my tastes.

No pictures yet, sorry. Gotta get my digital camera up and running again.

I agree completely. I'm seeing more and more wagons on the road, but the P5 is still one of the best looking ones out there.

Bala, what tire size do you run on your wheels.. from some of your pics it definitely looks larger than the 215/35/18 that everyone runs. Are your fenders rolled or something?
