I don't get it. Are those the only wheels you'd consider? They are heavy...

NO....a set of wheels with tires is $500. I considered a lot of wheels, but i'm not tryin to spend much. So of the two, which do you think is nicer?

Are you sure it's for the set of 4 or 2? I'd check first cause I saw the second wheels sell for $135 each but the whole package was $1100. Anyway I'd pick the 1st, out of th 2. I'd pick this one http://www.wheelsnext.com/product.phtml?p=501 out of all the ones for $500...

They're not brand name but if that doesn't matter to you then save your self $1,000 or more on WHeels & Tires like I did...

I Spent $1,150.00 Mounted Blanaced and with all 20 lug nuts. Awsome, durable rims, light weight rims.

I called them and the price is for all 4. They're having a sale. What do you think about choice 3?

unless you want to ride around on 205/40 17's (not recommended) you'll need some different tires bud.

I like #3 but get them in gunmetal. Also on 7.5" wheels you'll need 225 rubber...

i agree with ivelweyz on this one. Those wheels in gunmetal would look perfect with your sterling mist gxe. But, I would to recommend 235/45 17's.

go with either #1 or #3. #2 look like crap...seriously...too ricy IMO plus that many spokes do not look good on a max. Personally I would take #3

Those tires are all the wrong size. You can't just put any ol' tires on there.
