well im not trying to be negative or anything but if you reall want to hear peoples opinions im sure they will mostly be the same.

I think your best bet is to get new rims.

Yes they are quite small and they arent going to turn many heads.

Im sorry if you think im being negative because i am really not, your car looks nice and im sure with a change of rims it can be a real positive change for the better.

Good luck either way you go with it

thanks for sharing pics

none taken other words i wouldn't have asked not trying to turn heads. right now im stuck with them till i pay'em off

You really shouldn't have bought MSR wheels. The car really just needs a drop and different wheels, even stockers would look better than those with a drop.

Nothing wrong with 17's

Doesn't look bad to me.
Visually, your wheels are a bit on the small side but your overall tire diameter is still the same compared to most 18 and 19 inch packages. A drop should do it.

I love my 17's, and could care less what is said about them...in the end, my tires are cheaper.

I would gladly trade my gold 18 inch Advan TC2's for a nice set of 17 inch rims....Any local takers? I'm serious.

i choose the 17's cause if i ever get a blowout got a hell of a better chance getting a cheap fix tire to get home with. they look great when i polish them like i said their stuck their till i finish paying them off already to many payments into them to switch over.


btw what's wrong with msr's ? it's a dd not a racer and i still have the stock 16's

1. Better than stock, even if they are unimpressive.
2. Offsets look great. There are people on this forum that run bigger wheels with ridiculously negative offsets, and I think that's a bigger problem than you running 17s.
3. A drop would look nice considering they are 17s, but your car looks respectable as she sits now.
4. I am on 20s, and I can only envy your ride quality.

RockRash

the ride is like my grandpa's caddy except for the air seat

I think the 17"s don't look bad at all. Hang on to them until you decide to get new wheels. Just don't lower the car too much on 17"s or they'll look even smaller.

RockRash

i'm keeping them as spares when i get a new set just like the stock 16's sitting in the shop. what is the optimum wheel size for these cars done been though the whole offical w/t thread. all i ever see is 19's and a few 20's dont care for super chrome no need to draw unwanted attention
