Im probably going to get 17x7 inch rims....probably some simple 5 spoke rim, Ill post pics later.....but question is on the tyre (whoops, tire) size.....

215-45-17 --> isnt the tyre bigger than stock? Therefore wont the speedo be off?

225-40-17 --> cant find anything, anyone no of any tyres in this size (no USDM ones obviously)

Thanks

215/40/17 is very close to stock size tire..

Its gonna be hard to find a 225 out there, most are in 16" or 15" sizes, I run 225/50/15 yoko AVS Inter.. and love them!!

I was told that 215/40/17 has a lower load carrying rating which I should not get...correct?

Lewd Lude

Here are some options


5 zigen


Imperios (5 zigen also)


Work Meister

ALso looking at Racing Harts....

Well what do you all think?

Lewd Lude

So noone has an opinion eh?

Come on man, bet some good wheels, spoons, SSR comps... Who ever told you that about 215/40/17 is smokeing crack, you should be fine.. There is just less sidewall protection with a 40 series tire

Im happy with my stock wheels to be completely honest, especially if Im going to have a 'spirited' drive...but everyones been telling me to enter my car into shows, and without rims there is no show I guess....

Out of your three choices I give the to the Work Meisters. But I would get some 16" Spoons if I were you. Niiice.

Inperios are cool

personally i think your car would look best with 18' gunmetal grey axis se7ens

jacques

Those rims are cool (SuperFleaJQ has 'em on his car), but there's ALOT of copycat rims that look just like the se7ens .

Lewd Lude

I agree that they look good, but they are too common, and there are a lot of copies.....I want something different, actually to be honest I want TE-37s but they are too damn expensive, and also these rims are for show only....

bullet9925

too common? really? around new orleans i have never seen any axis se7ens. When i get mine in about a week i am positive i will be the only person in this area with those rims

I agree on both of these points - of the three you offer, I prefer the Work rims, but were it me, I'd go w/ Spoon - I think black rims look extremely aggressive and you get the weight bonus too.
