Eh...the deal is decent since its includes rubbers but IMO, those rims are kinda bland and the tires are way too thin. 215-45-17 is a bit better.

Nay, don't buy those rims. I work in a tire shop and every single MR7 I've had balanced like crap. They are very heavy but still are easy to dent. I've never had one that was acceptabley straight.

I like the looks of the first ones better then the last ones posted, but thats me, and apparently thats rice, haha. Oh well. The altezza's are def rice in one of his pics, I feel bad for him, haha. But shoot, seems like a decent amount of rubber left on them... crub rash sucks, and the heavy-ness and denting are an issue that I'd say dont buy. As far as a deal goes, sorry bud, I know I dont have money for rims and tires so I dont keep up on the prices. Good luck with the search, ****.... anything would be better then stealies tho!

Go with the black and polished lip 17s. Motegays have been around the block and unless the tires were brand new I'd say it wouldnt be worth it

I was going to go with some Tenzo-R Passion 5's wich i think look smokin on our cars, but within a week i saw four dif seventh gens with black rims w/ polished lips. Again it all depends on the look, not really a great deal as you will grow tired of them. Second rims are okay imo but you can do better.
