now you got me thinking... I was wanting 17 inch + for wheel size... but...

 

Honestly, I would stick with 17's. Tires are cheaper, they're more comfortable, and IMO they look great. Take my Audi rims for example. :biggrin:

17s FTW, not too big, not too small...

honestly in my price checking for tires 17s and 18s are just about the same.

 

The absolute cheapest tire I can find for my Bonneville (18x8 rims) is $114, if I buy 4. I can find plenty of tires for my Regal (235/45/17) for under $100 apiece, with quite a few selections under $90 apiece.

go with 18s

 

Yeah, I have 17s, just not enough wheel for our big cars with big wheel wells..

anything over 17's affects the suspension tooooo much.

 

I liked they way the 077's looked...but the car handled like crap....way to much weight on the outside diameter

look into starion wheels as seen here:

the lug patteren is 5 x 114.3

 

they can be found in 16 x 7 with 18mm offset or a little bit more rare is 16 x 8 with 18mm offset. The hardest part would be finding 4 of the same wheels

 

YES. I love those cars and the wheels are sexy too!

 

Magnum rims I'd HAVE to see first.... and the Impy/MCSS wheels DO look good if you can find them cheap.

Whatever option you don't use I might steal :lol:

Equinox's / torrent are 5 x 110, I've just been through all of this myself :lol:

 

And Audi A4 rims are 5x112, but that didn't stop me. If you get a great deal, you do have options.
