here are the spec info :
Size 17x7.0
Bolt Pattern 4x100 & 4x4.50 Dual Drilled
Off-Set +40mm
The tires included are 205/40HR17 Kumho 711.

They are $699.00 for the set with tires and $99.00 for shipping to FL.. is this a decent price, and will they fit.. any advice would be great .. I am just a girl trying to pimp my ride lol:burnrubber:

Well, if you like the style and are really not too concerned about performance, I would say go for it! The price is good and they will fit, but from the looks of it they are very heavy (but this may be of no concern). Kumho 711s get attacked as being crappy tires alot, but for the price they are actually pretty darn good.

I sent an email to the shop asking the weight since its not listed.. I am just waiting for a reply.. what is a good to decent weight?

I know nothing about preformance, but I am trying to learn...

i'm sorry, but those rims are fugly

[heylookitsjames]

To each, their own.

[PixieDawn]

hahaha fugly in the new cute :thumbsup: I like things a little different :) ..plus its just an example ..most of the rims that I have found in my area have the same size set up as this package and I just wanted to make sure this size would fit the car before I start really search ..its better to be an educated consumer than a chump with no clue... like I said I know nothing about rims/wheels/tires and the only way to find out is to ask... I plan on buying them in person not ordering them offline, so I don’t want to be ripped off because I am a female...:respekt:

[slvryaris]

They should fit nicely. Check out wheel max for rims and tires if they are a little too pricey for you. I know wheel max has free sipping and thats where my friends get all their stuff from.

Hey does anyone know what the preferred tire size is on the sedan if you go to 17 inch wheels??? I just did a tire calculator check and it seems that 215/45/17 is the closest to getting it to the same sidewall height if a 185/65/15 is your stock. I was wondering if they would be too wide. Any thoughts???

you really should try to keep the over all tire diameter the same, using a lower profile tire, other-wise the already to tall sedan will look, even taller.

[El Jefe]

actually the stock tire size is 185/60/15 and the best choice for 17" tires will be 215/40/17's

I am going to lower the car and I know how it is to ride on 205/40/17, and pot holes do not discriminate. Plus I love my wheels and dont want to end up buying a new one if I crush one so all the sidewall I can get will help. I went to http://www.eunos.com/tirecalc/ and started typing in sizes compared to the stock tires and 215/45/17 was almost exactly the same, and they are even cheaper then 215/40/17's, but I wasnt for sure they would fit. I just want to fill in that nasty @$$ fender well gap. I mean it shouldnt be that different just sidewall height. The width would not be an issue correct?????

Ok so I know so many people hate chrome but I couldnt help it with a black yaris...these are the wheels I ended up getting today locally, they are NZO Model Greco 17 X 7.0 w/ 215/40 17 Yokohama tires all for $360.00.. I dont think thats to bad do you ?... lol so now I have the rims but dont have the car yet lol... nice right...

:wub:

[mikeukrainetz]

I like those rims, I dont have a hate for chrome as most others do.

So you got wheels before the car... do you set them up in the drive and imagine a car around them? .... lol. JK

BTW, thats a great price - cant pick up wheels here for that price unless theyre those cheap rims from 'Crappy Tire'

[PixieDawn]

yeah, these came from a friend of a friend who got them for his car then decided to go join the us army, so he sold his car w/the old rims and sold the new ones to me :clap: so i just made out well... the sets like triple the price I am paying or something crazy like that.. having boobies helps sometimes :)

[mikeukrainetz]

lol, how true

hahah I hope they look better in person on :wink:

[johnnyfive]

looks nice, but kinda looks like you have 4 wheel stearing :P

The boobies do have a powerful effect on men. I know I am a sucker for them. Looks like you got a good deal. I would just make sure they are 4x100. Mine are still on my friends XB until he gets off his lazy @$$ and takes them off. Here is a pic of them.

Those Axis wheels are light and look good, but they're prone to bending if you hit something hard, like a pothole. Buddy had a set and he utterly destroyed one because he hit a pothole at 60MPH with a low-pro tire.

[ryz1711]

I'm pretty certain those'll fit your car since it's dual drilled.. hondas fit the 114 bolt thread holes and most cars fit the 100 bolt thread holes...

They look weeeellll kinda nice but i'm not into those type of rims that your gonna have.. but whatever makes you happy..

about the tyres... don't install those.. why? they'll crack if you over-inflate them.. my friend experienced sidewall cracking on the inside as well as on the outside of the tyres when he accidentally inflated them of about 35 - 38 bars of air... Hahaha pretty funny though since he doesn't know the precise amount of air pressure suitable to inflate his tyres with..

I use another cheaper brand 'Nangkang', made in Thailand kinda good set of tyres.. been using it for 3 years now on my ford and still it looks like new.. well they say paying extra won't hurt though if you can afford falken tyres.. :) or Michelin tyres for that matter..

Is 17" rim and lowered spring (NF210) will cause rubbing to the inside fender? Coz I heard in other post people mentioned they need to trim off the fender a bit for clearance?
