Dont buy from that guy on ebay. I just purchased a set of rims on ebay.... I looked into that seller, the wheels come with Nankang NS1's as far as tires go, the NS1's are known for having blowouts easily. i bought mine from Gotwheels on ebay. EBAY STORE GOT WHEELS (http://stores.ebay.com/Got-Wheels-and-Tires_17-PACKAGES_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZQ2d1QQfsubZ10QQftidZ2QQtZk m)
I got the 17" Rey Status Wheels Black with a polished lip, with Datona Tires 205/40-17. $720 mounted, balanced, chrome stem, and shipped!
if you are going to buy wheels from ebay and they dont say the tire brand, call or email them to ask. i feel that tires are very important and are not worth cheaping out on. you can still get a nice wheel/tire package for $700, just ask sellers alot of questions before you buy. Good Luck

If you're doing daily driving and long highway trips, I would STRONGLY recommend getting something bigger than the 205/40/17 combo. The 205/45/17 would be much better. I have the 205/40, and it's like driving through a minefield sometimes trying to avoid hitting things. That extra rubber really helps if you have it.

I couldn't agree more. Add in the fact that your speedo will be running a bit faster than your actual speed and your gas mileage WILL drop.

Typically, I'm not a fan of black wheels and the "Nascar look" - but I like those. I think the silver center makes them look not-so-bland as most black rims.

Yeah I don't like them pure black.. One really Noob question is the 45 in the 205/45R17 the offset or is it something else??

[shmorf]

thats the aspect ratio, its the ratio of the sidewall in mm/the width of the tire 205mm

the offset is 40 or +40 listed on the website with your wheel
