looks like an excuse to get some new wheels. the wheel is probably fixable, by the looks of it about 200. IMO get some 16's
I have some bronze konig heliums on my black si and it looks good.

205 mm tread width... sounds fine
40% hieght/width ratio... nice low profile
ZR speed rating up to 186mph... nice tires
17in. rim obiously

Looks to be easily repairable. They charge ~$150 around here, and yes, 205/40 is the correct tire size.

well i didnt say there no good..just my opinion..
instead of spending $150-$200 to fix the bent rim..id rather buy a set of SI's.they go for $350-$400..and your car is an SI,keep that oem look..
