Money is an issue for me I dont have anything saved up besides for my ticket which is 137 and im still hoping they will throw it.. but I need to get rims for after winter as I only have the ones im driving on with studded tires .. so please give me some links or even brands... I don't know whats good and bad or where to shop.. I heard most ebay wheels are junk and you never get them balanced correctly because the rims just suck?

well depending where you live check your regional forum, lots of people sell rims in there. decent wheels and tires will run you price wise though. i bought a set off ebay and they were perfect. you just have to know what to look for. i bought the wheels and tires from ebay and had them balanced at a local shop. whats your budget? check the northeast regional forum and jugglozeke is selling his chrome centerline storms which are similiar looking to the wheels you posted.

You are running studded tires? Why why why... They are not even legal last time I checked. Those tear up the roads like no joke. I just want to say that if you are going to be around snow/salt you might want to stay away from chrome. If you went with something that is just powered coated it would save you a good deal of money.

well i still believe wheels should be removed in the winter to avoid the damage from salt wheather their chrome, bronze, silver, etc....

Even if that budget is just for the rims, you're going to have to find one hell of a deal because chrome 17's run at least $180 each new. I'd get a good set of summer tires for the steelies or just pick up a set of stock rims and tires for $200 or so and save up. I hated saving up and waiting for mine but it is definitely worth it, especially the piece of mind that comes with brand new wheels and tires.

I was thinking more like 95-99 Z, something non-chrome to get you by until you could buy some chrome 17's like you want.

yea it is considering the canadian dollar is just as much as the american dollar. not to mention the tread on the tires is only 60%. i wouldnt pay more than 300 for those

We have these

They were on the s2000, and no we just want them out of the garage so we would sell them really cheap. Here's another link to what they are. I know they are only 16's and you want 17's, but I was just throwin it out there, escpecially since you could get em for cheap.
