Could you reveal the wheel/tire size and tire make?

I'm considering the same wheels (but in comp grey) for my torch red coupe.

These are 17/18 OEM sizes, I stayed with them and kept the tires, since I've only got about 7-8k miles on the tires which are Michelin Pilot Sport ZP. I changed out the tire pressure monitors as well. Wheels are from Factory Reproduction.

Thanks all.

Love the SPYDERS; but I would have went black, but the chrome looks sharp too!
