Testing prices on 215/50/17 = 80 (stock on 2g GSX) Rims

[dragonov_elite]

Just trying to see what the going price is on these rims 215/50/17 = 80 (stock on 2g GSX). are these rims 7.5" or 8.0" wide? I am thinking about buying a nice set and repainting the rims gunmetal black.
thanks

I believe they are 17 x 7.

You are better off buying a set of aftermarket ones. They bend easily and the $$ you will use on prep and paint can buy you a new set of wheels.

I'm confused. 215/50/17 is the tire size. Are you looking for 2G 17" Eclipse rims or Talon rims like the ones I have? And yes they bend easily. I think I have 2 bent lips on my wheels and it doesn't help that my wife doesn't really know how to drive.

These are aftermarket rims. They never came from the factory on any DSM.

^^ He's right.

Here are the stock GSX rims, so you would know:

They (stock 2gb gsx wheels) are prone to bending. LOTS.
