Folks, i think i'm gonna get some wider 17" rims so i can run some 235/45 and not have to pay $900+ for pilot sports. Only problem is the only rims i've seen that i like for my sterling mist are the tantrums (and yup...looked at the evo5's...great to look at, dont't think i wanna buy). I want something nice, not overstated or overly flashy. don't care about weight but they gotta be 17x8. Appreciate the input.

 

how are the highways where you are? i live in NYC and driving on the LIE with the 17X8 is horrible, you get sucked into the trucks grooves in the roads so easily... so much that you have to fight the wheel

 

I dare not drive who no hands on the LIE

good lookin out on the link, but i saw that post and don't much care for the rims. and only one of the 3 is 17x8.

The roads are decent....nowhere near as bad as the LIE (was on it once in '97 and it sucked). How much worse can the ride be w/ the wider shoes than riding on my boy's 18's?

 

I hear if you get the 18X7.5 it should be that bad

 

You're right, Eenis. The rims look sh!tty in the pics. Take a look here and tell me what you think:

this's a lot better. gotta love the price.

 

Without a doubt, the price is right! Keep in mind that you'll need to purchase a set of hubcentric rings to mount the rims properly.

 

you know anybody that has these rims on their max? wanna see what they look like mounted.

 

Nope. But my guess is they'd look great . . . particularly for the price.
