These are three wheels that I am considering. I want something simple yet sporty. As you can see, I like 7+ spokes. I want 17 inch rims at least 7.5 wide. I am open to other options so please offer ideas. I'd like to keep the cost below $160/wheel. Does anyone know about the quality of these wheels? Thanks.

I have 2 votes for "other" so far but no suggestions as to what I should get instead. Any ideas?? Oh yeah, no chrome!

No offense, but they all look kinda cheap. Check out tirerack, they have some nice wheels there.

I've checked out every online wheel shop that I can find. I understand that a 17 inch wheel for less than $160 is going to look kinda cheap, but I know the Tantrums are pretty popular on here. Do you have any suggestions, tirerack has nice wheels, but not in my price range. I don't want to waste a lot of money on rims.

Why does nobody seem to like chrome here? Personally I think the Maxima looks best with chrome especially a black Maxima. In reference to what wheels you should get; I say none of the three. But in the end it really doesn't matter what me or anybody else thinks; the only thing that matters is that you like the wheels. By the way here is another website for wheels you may want to try www.victoriatire.com

Basically I don't want to deal with the added maintenance required by chrome wheels, and also the added weight and expense. I have cecked out www.victoriatire.com before with no luck. If no one likes my options above, please suggest a wheel that fits my criteria: silver, 17/7.5 at least, 7+ spokes. Thanks.

Chrome is for pimpin. Light rims are for performance.

Try to get a 8 inch wide wheel over a 7.5 inch. Also try for a 35-40 offset.

Surely someone will offer a suggestion of another rim I should consider. 5 of the 8 votes are for "other." What should it be then???

Personally, I'd save up a little more $$ and get a better set of wheels. BTW, what do you think of the Axis 7's?

Honestly I don't think wheels are worth too much more. I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. Where can I find a pic of the Axis 7's??

1BADMAX

Here you go.

I appreciate the pic but they are only 7 inches wide and $209!!! I would really like to stay under $160 and I'd like to run a 235 tire. Nice wheel but keep the ideas coming!!

I think white wheels would look the best

Enkei RP08 17x7 $139
Ok this the first 3 wheels I could find that was on www.superbuytires.com At least this everyone I would consider if looking for 7 spoke rims; doesn't seem to be very many 17x7.5 though. Anyways here they are.

Panther Rush 17x7 $139
ICW Racing 7 17x7 $149 polished
Here's the other 2.

Thanks for taking the time to look for those. 4 of them however are only 7 inches wide and won't accept 235 tires. Are my choices really that bad??? What makes them look so cheap?

freeze2k2

Fit, finish and weight.

Personally I think the Konig Tantrums are over done. By that I mean to many people have them like to many people have Civic's. There just old news to me.
