well as some of you guys know im gonna be gettin new rims close to summer.......... im going 17s ........ one reason is because i dont wanna spend my money to lower it.... i dont have time and 17s dont make my car look like a 4x4 at all.... and im gonna get rid of the car in college sometime anyways for a 4x4. But, im going silver 17s.... no more white thank god..... this is what im thinking.... what you guys think?

What is the type and size of the white rims you have for sale? What kind of rubber are they wrapped in and what size tire?

i think they're fine. if you aren't going to lower your car, i would go with a 205/50-17.
just my opinion though...

yea dude, wheels without a lip = no good. and no matter how big a wheel you get, its still gonna look like a monster truck if you dont lower it. i would get some 18's with a lip if i were you. but if you're not gonna lower your car then i wouldnt even waste any money on wheels, cause that always looks ridiculous to me

no lip on most wheels make the whole car look flat. ones like the sig hondakorn has.. i think those look fine with no lip.. but spokes like you posted.. i hate if they have no lip.

Watch out for problems with the side walls....the side walls on Kumhos is whack...instead of having a nice curve to them they are pretty straight and can often cause rubbing problems. I know this because I found out the hard way...which is why I am runnin Yoks and they are da bomb!
