Looks really nice...I think I'm partial to 5 and 6 spoke wheel designs though...Anyways, good job!

How much did they cost?

i ordered them through a place called audio planet thats on 110 in huntington station thats on long island.... the total came to 1235 with the tires, balancing, mounting, wheel locks and all.. it was a little high but i liked them so i figured i might as well go for it... thanks for all the compliments i appreciate it... now in a few weeks or so ill drop it 1.5 its too high lol

Is there a reason you got 225/45/17 instead of 235/45/17?

just curious...

i was going to get 235's but my rims only came in 7" so i didnt want to squeeze 235's on them... i figured the 225 would be the better bet on a 7"

you think the 235's wouldn't fit well on the 17X7 wheels?

Only Pirelli and like one other manufacturer recommend using 235s on 7" rims. Most other manufacturers recommend 225 at most on the 7s.

i thought 235 would be a little wide but the guy was like no thats fine.... the reason why was he had a set at his shop so he wanted to sell me those but i called like an hour later and told him to order 225's cause i wanted to play it safe.. its not an inexpensive thing youre messin with lol either way i like the 225's in the front theyre almost exactly level with the fender which is good i wouldnt want it sticking out.. and the back, man it looks so much better than the stock wheels that sit so far in
