Rims question...

What are some good rims that I can get in white? I want some 17s nothing over $1500 with the rubber!

I have a LX White Sedan...

-OR-

Should I just ditch that idea and get some Focal F5s? Man do I love those rims, but they don't come in white[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]!!! Should I try and find the cheapest deal on these rims, and then get them powder coated or something? I think they would look hot white on a white car

go to Konig Have a look at Konig Tantrums. or Konig Toxxins. Both available in while. Can be had for $1100 with Kumho Ecsta Suptra tires in 215 40R17's... Saw them in a magazine froma discout tire place. Shipping is $65 anywhere in the continental US.

Cheers
Mohawk

Edit: Saw the 18's with rubber for $1249 for the set of 4 power coated white. Think the ad was for Discount tire direct or Dealsonwheels or somethign along those lines. I live in canada so I ahd to Order my rims from a local shop. Came out cheaper for me.

What rims are you talking about that you have Mohawk? How much does it run to powder coat rims? Does it last through out the period of your rims, or is it something that has to be done every once in a while to keep it from "coming off" or something?

Yeah, I saw Wheelmax.com already...here's what they got:

Focal F5's
-17x7
-205/40/17

Your choice between:
-Falken
-Kumho

Total for package with tires: $1099

Shipping is $110 to California, and it will take 5-6 days.

They will also mount, and balance the wheels for you too, but my question is do they include lugs with that price? Do I have to buy new lugs, or can I/should I just use the ones that I have right now?

Also, what tire should I get, Falken, or Kumho? I live in California, and it doesn't show where I live, but sometimes it rains quite a bit...I'm thinking Kumho?

Mohawk: No charge for the Focal F5s to get them in white?! Where at!!!

<< I was wondering if our cars were 17 x 7.5 or 17 x 6???????I"M not sure what it means so someone please tell me >>



our cars are 15X6, not 17X7, the first number (15) represents wheel diameter, second number (6) reps. the wheel width, so its 15 inches in dia. and 6 in wide. Hope it helps. And the tire size does not tell you if they are all season. I think the Kumhos are??? not sure.

FlexEX why 18s? Wouldn't that slow down the car a lot? Keep in mind, the Civic is my daily driver. 18s are kinda pushing it for daily use...
