wheels question ----- 16x7.5 ET35
<center><img src="http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid87/p7dc13e4210b0b166ebd9860ba1054965/fa9ee590.jpg"></center><p>Normally I'm against big wheels as i believe it takes away speed & power due to larger rotaitional diameter.
That being said....
Would a 16x7.5 ET35 OZ Racing Monte Carlos fit on a CGT?
I've liked the Montes for a while, and a set has come up cheap (I think, what are they going for nowadays?).
There's some curbage & tires are toast(afaik).
They are very similar in style to my 15" Momo's (in my autoX sig pic) & I think the older rims suit the CGT's very well.
I definately don't <b>need</b> more rims, as I probably am up to about 40 4x100 rims right now ( + another 12 4x108 rims).
Just thought that maybe it's time I got some bigger rims to add to my collection.
What do U guys think?
Do Monte Carlos look good on CGT's?
What's the going rate for a tireless set of 16x7.5 ET35 slighly curbed rims?
Thanks in advance for any info.

What you lose in off-the-line acceleration you make up in handling.
A fair trade, I'd say. Once you're moving and momentum builds, acceleration differences are negligible. The smaller, stiffer sidewall definitely helps cornering.
They should fit.

U don't think a 7.5" width w/ only ET35 offset would rub tie rods or something?
The inner rubbing is what i'm worried about, as I can always roll or pull the fenders.
