Those wheels look really cheap. I like the stock looking wheels with a 205/50 tire

IMO, 17s are just a bit too big for a daily driven teg.

Stick with the GSR blades. Drop the car and get some Azenis.

i go with the 17's
if u already got them then why not
i have 17's my self
the 17's will slow u down though. low end will suffef but 17's look much better in my opinion
and if u go with the 17 by 7's plz get 215 and not 205 tires. 205 suck for a 7 inch rim.

which one is lighter?.. go with that = more hp to wheels ie less loss of hp due to mass moment of inertia

here's what you do, put the tecno's on, take the gsrs off, put the sawblades in a big box, I will send you some money, send them to 2505 Regal......oh well, you get the picture! sell me the blades if you end up going 17's

I voted for the gsr blades, your car is very clean,and has a nice oem look. I always told myself if i get bigger wheels i would get something nice, light,= expensive. These imo look cheap and heavy . Im more into go than show so obviously for now im sticking with my blades, i think you should too

whichever you pick - don't forget the wheel locks !!!! Oh - and it helps to hide the key or keep it out of the car altogether.

Man I say go with the 17's. People on here can tell you they are too big, they are ugly, blah blah blah but its your car, so YOU have to be the one to make the decision. I personally went with 17" rota subzeros and yes it slows the car down a tad but who cares if its a daily driven teg unless all you do is street race. So I voted to go with the 17's!
