I have some stock 17" wheels that I will sell you or trade for stock 16" wheels. They have 245/45 and 255/40. They came with my car and I assume they are stock. Oh, they're chrome too

What are "stock" 17's? Are you talking about the 99 spec wheels? I have 225/50/16 s02 pole postions on stock wheels now. In great shape.

How much are you looking to spend with or w/o tires. I might be able to get you a deal on some new wheels or at least some style suggestions that fit in your price range.

When buying used wheels I would suggest having the wheels spun, to ensure trueness. If deciding to purchase wheels used, get some verification that they are straight. Upon receipt, take them to a wheel/tire shop and recheck them.

Just some advice. I've bought lots of used wheels.

Well I was hopeing to find a good deal on used wheels to save $$ but if I bought new I guess I was trying to stay below 2k. I have a new PFC I was going to sell or trade towards wheels. I like a polished lip, maybe something like racing harts c2 or similar. I can say I do not like the volk te7 or se7's. I know they are great performance wheels I just do not like the looks. The Fiske wheels are killer just to much $$ for me.
