Rims and tires

How much does it cost for a decent set of 17's and tires for are cars? What did everyone here pay? Also did it lower your gas mileage alot? Thanks,
Rich

Being a junior member, I am just going to suggest you "search" before asking a question like this. There are literally about a million threads on this topic. Hope you don't get flamed too much.

$850.00 - $1300.00.............I paid $1190.00 shipped, and my gas mileage has not suffered (significantly that is).

Check out www.wheelmax.com for some sweet deals and a comprehensive selection (check eBay too!!).

a decent price is $800 - $900 for the 17" rims, Z profile tires, and shipped
Remember.. if its chrome add $300.

any of those places that charge over 1000 bucks is ripping you off... but any place selling all of that for under $500 you should be careful because the rim may be used.

I got my Enkei Shogun rims at EwheelsUSA for $178/each plus about $50 shipping & I got my Nitto 450 tires (205/40/17) at Discount Tire Direct for $88/each plus a total of like $35 shipping. I'm pretty sure that Discount Tire Direct has cheaper wheels than EwheelsUSA but Discount Tire Direct didn't carry the Shogun wheels I wanted. & as far as I can notice my MPG didn't change, If it did, I can't tell.

Chrome typically adds about $100 to the price of each wheel depending on the brand of the wheel.
