What rims should I get?
BBS RX 17X9 ET28 (about 25lbs each)




Mustang GT Silver 17X8 ET30 (17 lbs each)




BBS look better but wayyyy heavy.

Price is about the same with tires so what should I get?

Wow quit being an ***... mustang wheels are not gay because trust me a wheel can not be a homosexual. They look pretty decent and plus they are light and cheap especially for budget builds.

go with the mustang wheels inexpensive, light, and reliable. If not save up for a real nice set of wheels.

The mustang wheels look fine. 8lbs each is a huge difference.

The Mustang wheels aren't 17 lbs, try more like 20-21. I'm not sure what kinda prices you are looking at, but you shouldn't pay more than about $300 for the mustang wheels. You can find sets all day on ebay for less.
