17x7 Konig Tantrums on 215/45/17 tires...should I get it?

First of all, I'm getting this free. If not, of course I wouldn't even think about it. It's off of my sister's '00 Accord V6. The wheel specs are the same for her car and mine. Wheels are 17x7 5-114.3 40
I thought Accords were different, but I guess not in her case. Tires are a bit small though, Nitto 215/45/17 tires. With that combo, they should fit my car with no problems right? She's putting on her stock wheels back on soon. She's not really into fixing up her car anymore. Plus, she doesn't even take care of the wheels! Wheels are not in perfect condition, scratches here and there. However, they are free! So I shouldn't complain huh? So I? I could get new, right size tires later on.

I know...I know.



Since they will be free, I don't think I can pass them up. I got no money for any new wheels right now. So if I don't get these, I will have to keep riding on the sawblades.

It's already rough with the Eibach springs. I'm not sure if it's just in my head, but the Eibach seem to ride even rougher than the Sprint. Anyway, it can't get any rougher with the 17s...could it? Yeah, I think I'm going to take them. I just have to wait for my sister to put some tires on her stock wheels.

Id take them in a heartbeat and just spend a couple bills and slap some good rubber on them. Those are my favorite rims!
