LOL look at you guys go nuts asking about wheels with decent fitment. Someone will come along and tell you "blah blah blah you won't get good performance from a stretched tire like that blah blah blah."

Congrats on the new whip.

it's funny because I wouldn't even call his tires exactly stretched. there is a difference when you have more than one set of wheels. I can understand, that if someone only has cash for one set.. they will make it the most logical "performance wise." I have a track set, autoX set and am looking for a nice street set right now. On the street it's all about stance... I don't drive to the limits on the street anyways, so why would I need track like tires if I'm not on a track.

thanks for all your guys replies
to get it shipped isnt that expensive and
but if you're not into paper work its not for you
and if you're impatient this isn't for you

those are 17" rims

^ what he said.

It takes a LONG time to get the car cleared up and legal to drive.

It's a lot of paperwork and, depending on what province you live in, a lot of political BS.

What is the offset + width of those wheels? Nice stance, it is.
