G35C Pics with 17" Snow Tires & Wheels

Can people who have winter package post their car pics here (please)? I want to see the car with 17" winter package.
Also -
What 17" wheels would look good enough on the coupe?
What wheel size should I go - 17x7.5 ?

Thanks,
Amit

I have the same rim setup, but I went with Dunlops (the slightly more expensive ones) also at about 160/ea. I did this because I heard that Blizzaks wear out quickly. The Dunlops had a great thread wear reputation, but most importantly were excellent in the snow (from what people on the tirerack website were saying in their feedback). My other car is a 4Runner, and I was amazed at how well my G coupe performed in the snow compared to it. It takes a while to get used to the look of those ASA's though, they grow on you, and by winter's end you're kind of almost happy to look at them.
