Most likely those are 17x7 +42 or 17x8 +43, but that's just what I see on discount tire direct when I run a search. Looks good.

Nice, I'm still iffy with 16's on a msp because of the larger wing and extra body work. You almost need a 17 or 18 wheel to pull the look off. But as long as the wheel is nice and the car is low enough it looks good.

i was actually thinking about getting those rims, but in 18 by 7.5

my question is should i get the black with polished lip or the bronze? (my msp is black)

My parents say the black with polished lip.


another thing is should i get +42 or +48?????

Good job justin!

haha thanks brad! (yippy)

i think an 8" wide wheel would look so sick, it should fit nice and flush in the front. take some pictures!

i hear you, i would have went with a 17" wheel but the deal came up on these and i couldn't pass them up. they really don't look too small but i think it's really only because the car is dumped on a 205 series tire.

don't do the polished lip, i think that style is played out a bit, IMO. i love the mat black finish they offer, i might even get mine powdercoated in that finish.

go +42.

my parents are telling me to go with the polished lip, i said the same thing to them saying everyone has them, but they still told me it would look nice, to me i rly dont care what other people have, i jsut want my car to look nice on 18's, which i am going to ask around more still ^.^ but i checked into it more and tehy make them in +43 only now, they discontined the 42 and 48
