Those look amazing. I was thinking of cleaning up my factory rims but it will be a pain to do it one at a time and finding a suitable temporary one to switch out.

Have you noticed that the offset resulted in these wheels in? From the side angle view, it appears noticable. I have wanted to upgrade like you but am afraid to bite the bullet with the difference of offset.

The wheels look great! I really like MBs... super value for the $$. What were you running on your Vibe before and what kind of difference have you noticed with your TripleTreds... good, bad or really good? Have they changed the character of the car? I put a set of TripleTreds on my wife's car over 4 years ago and they changed the car from a non linear wanderer to a fairly steady dead on center driver. A needed and very noticeable change! Just make sure you keep them at proper inflation, keep your car is alligned and rotate those tires every 3000 to 6000 miles. They'll last a long while, so take care of them!

i was running the stock RS-As on the 16in steelies. They had 40K miles on them and needed to be replaced. They were getting me 35-38mpg though with an auto. Now the TTs are getting me 30mpgs. But, then again, I have tread. And I am running a bigger/heavier wheel/tire.

Wow very sharp! That colour is awesome and would look pretty sharp on the monotone 2009/2010s. If they offered it I would have jumped all over it.

Those TTs run pretty easy, check your pressures... they should get the same mpgs as the RS-A... even if you are running a larger wheel. 215/50-17 is the Pontiac OE option size, so very simmilar diameter to your original 205/55-16 tires. That seems too big an mpg drop. Hope you notice a better performing Vibe with those new tires, too.
