what rims size?

[JWoodley]

im looking to buy some rims. 17's, 18's, or 19's? what should i get? what are the pros and cons of each? thanks.

19's heavy. 18's heavy also but look pisser. 17's look good a little cheaper and u can get some nice lightweight ones and never really have to worry about rubbiing when u lower ur car.

If you are strapped for cash, I would go with 17x7 or 17x8. A nice set of Konig's will run about 150 - 200+ a piece and a nice set of 235/45ZR/17's will run about 100 - 150+ a piece for a decent brand. I've got Konig Tantrum 17x7 and plan to get Yokohama AVS ES100's or Kumho Ecsta MX's next summer, (109 and 122) on Tirerack.com right now. All that accounted for, you're looking around 1300 - 1700 at most after balancing. If I had the lootchie, I would go 18x8.. But alas, I am just your average joe and my engine needs more attention than my wheels right now..

Speaking of which, go take a peak at the Motegi M7 series rims, IDENTICLE to the Tantrum line from Konig, but they are a tad cheaper.
