How much is it gonna cost me?

How much should I expect to spend on 17's all around and rubber to fit?

Any suggestions on places to shop (web sites? mail order?)?

Any suggestions on what to avoid and what to look for?

Very noob question and I'm sorry. But thank you for the patience.

i guess... but $1100 for Racing Hart is pretty cheap in my opinion... it comes mounted and balanced... i've calculated... about $650 for wheels... another $300 for tires (205/40/17 Kumho) and another $30 x 4 for mount and balance... we come to $1070. adding another $30 bucks is well worth it for Racing Hart... i personally think the lowest end RH Evo is a whole lot better then "konig"... Konig is a taiwan company anyway... nothing compared to RH... JAPAN!!

$815 shipped for konig... i guess its a good deal juss the rubber themselves cost $420... so $395 for wheels.. under hundred bucks for a peice of steel.. but i am the type of person that wants everything JDM.. so juss my $0.02 cents.
