I am contemplating on getting the Konig Tantrum 17X8s with 235/45-17 Kumho Supra 712s because I don't have to pay too much for the difference. I currently have the 17" SE rims. Please shed some pros/cons to help me make my decision.

I too was thinking of getting these! They are sweet.

However, I found these, http://www.autodynamic.com/Rims_6speed.htm, and I think I like them better. The only thing I don't like about the 6-speeds is they don't come in chrome and they look too close to our stock SE rims. These rims are also offered by Nakayama Racing Sports under the name "Speed Star".

So the 18" x 7.5 offset 45 4 lugs/ 114.3mm & 100mm White Color will fit our cars... The price isn't that bad either... THe konig tantrums go for about 2gs........

IceY2K1, those do look pretty tight but alas, the resemblance to the 17" stocks are uncanny. Hey, if you can get them for a great deal though it just might be worth it.

Rba, the 4 lugs do not fit our Max. Our setting is 5 lugs on 114.3mm (4.5").

Kev, once again, thanks for the PM and the well-wishing.

More comments are welcomed. I'm starting to lean towards getting the Tantrums though.
