I've decided to get Pirelli P7000 Supersport 235 45 17's. Everything I've read on them suggests that they are among the best tires I can get for "regular" and "performance" use. The problem I have now is deciding which rims to put them on. I've looked on Tire Rack but they don't list the weight of the rim. I'm trying not to buy stylish junk but something that is very good quality without blowing 500 bucks a wheel. Any suggestions on something that is functionally good <250 a wheel? Thanks in advance!

 

If I were you.. I'd go with the racing hart evolution serious. the c5 or the c2s. I believe they're around 200 bucks a piece for 18x7.5. I might be mistaken though. Hope this helps.

 

I just put 17x8 adr enigmas on my car with the same tire you're looking for..looks awsome. For $250 you could go with 18's..the tires are only like 20 boucks more for a 235/40. Kinda wish i'd gone with 18's..

BTW..17's with tire weigh 46.something lbs...maybe too heavy for you

I am going to get 18X8 Racing Hart evolution C-5's for my max....I did have C-2's but some stuff happened so I have decided on my new rims....mwhahahahmwhahahhaa

 

It's a nice 7 spoke wheel that comes in Silver, gold, white, and gunmetal. I saw them in 17s at Victoria wheel and tire for $210 each.

 

How much are those wheels, and where can you get them at?

 

I plan on getting these:



18x8's

Mas Italy President

They are called MAS MGR's at Discount Tire.

They are simple and not too racy looking.

PRESIDENT, Muhahahhaa! Bush or Gore, lol. j/k.

 

how heavy are those c5s, they look really nice but i don't want to lose any performance.

 

FYI found this in my search (on this site) it details the weights for the wheels.

with nitto nt 555 235zr18 tires.....the racing hart c-5's should not be too much heavier than stock because when i had my 17 inch c-2's there was no noticable loss in performance..

 

Does anyone have pics of the racing hart c5s?
Just want to see what they look like.

check out maximadriver.com cheston's site. The top picture is a max with c5's

 

don't buy the C5 unless you are getting the 3 pieces, 1 piece looks like **** if you ask me.

Delio already has those rims ..... too late ????

 

think if you go to http://www.groupbuycenter.com there is a group deal on axis wheels...pretty darn cheap (I think?) am thinking of getting some myself

 

Actually I think I'm going to go with the SSR integrals. They look pretty conservative (so as not to draw thieves and cops like white to rice) and are very lightweight for their size.

 

I have the MAS Italy Axels in 17x7.5. They only weigh 19.5 lbs each, and only cost me $160 apiece. I ordered them directly from the U.S. distributor, http://www.maswheels.com. Good service and quick turnaround, and cheaper than anyone else. I recommend them to the getting the Presidents. Sorry I don't have pics, but I get a lot of compliments if that means anything.

 

i think some ssr gpo's would look hella tight on your ride. you're in luck cause i have some for sale. check out the for sale/wanted category
