personally i would(and have) bought the volk te37's. very strong, very light, and very expensive. inexpensive would be rota attacks or sub zeros. light and about 550 for a set of 17's. cheap.

 

I was looking to spend around 1100 for rims and tires. I was going to go with the 17" konig tantrums ($540) with a 205/40/17 (tires $420)Yokohama AVID H4, BF Goodrich Scorcher T/A ZR, Yokohama Parada Spec-2. But i'm not sure what type of tires to buy? And i don't know if i can get away with summer tires all year long in lexington kentucky or if i should have the yokohama all season avid h4?

 

screw the 17's

get some 15's and put drag radials on them

 

I like how the 17" look though. I'm going to buy a set of slicks when i get my turbo then i'll be able to switch between them on race days.

Centerline RPM's Verylight and have great warrenty i have them in 19" and a drive bad on the street hittin holes and crap and they havent bent yet. still great. i love them i also have volk gram lights 17" and Mugen mf8 and those are also great but mugens are expensive.

 

What did you pay for yours? and what do you think about the konig tantrums as being a light 17" rim?

 

Kongis are not light rims and they are crap my first civic had some and they where crap to me. centerlines are about 800-1000 for just the rims i think for 17" retail. i payed 1500 for 19" with mugen lug nuts and pirelli p7000 tires. brand new. but i got hook ups.

 

i would not get 17 unless you have some stock in honda axles they break really easily on 17. my friend has 17 volks and we have broken a few axles

 

What brand of rims would you say are good for 17's for around 600?

 

the lightest 17" rim that I know of are the Weld Racelites for Honda/Acura.
They are like 11.5lbs each.

 

damn, that is light for a 17, really light!!!!
wow.............m.

 

Centerline Impulse 17x7 11.4lbs

 

Well what would you guys buy if you only had 1100 or so to spend on a 17" wheel and tire package?

For that price you will have to go with some cheaper wheels like Konigs, or Rota's. Anything else like RacingHarts or SSR will be quit abit out of your price range.
