Anyone running 17in gram light pros?

Ok I got a price quote from importhookup.com
quoted me
$1666 for 17x8 front 17x9 rears
$1870 for 18x8 front 18x9 rears
The only question I have right now is how the 17 inch gram lights look on a FD.
Is anyone running 17's and has a few pics to spare?
Id hate to spend that kind of cash only to be disssapointed with the end results.
Thanx everyone.
I do like the 18 inch wheels but I would like to see how the 17 inch wheels stack up.Less rotational mass and 200 bucks cheaper as well.

If you want the pros I'll hook you up better and with one of my custom fitments. Just email me sales@autornd.com. There will be a wait regardless but in the 17" I'd really recommend going 9's all around, or getting the 18's in 9's and 10's with custom offset. Their standard offsets are not extremely FD friendly, imho.

Send me an email and I can set you up.

I have 18x9 and 18x10 Gram Light 57 Pros.... if you are worried about $200 difference... stick with the stock rims.... the cost of the tires will really open your eyes. Get the 18's.

Rotoboy sent you a pm.Never got a reply.
Rishie-Sent out an email but havent recevied a reply either.
Looking forward to hearing from both of you.
As far as wayyy better what do you mean?
better in what sense? because when I think more wheel less tire I picture a harsh ride quality and always having to drive like a bitch over small speedbumps and the like.
I do like how rotoboys wheels look though.
