Getting whels soon!!!

Alright guys , In a couple of months I'm getting some rims and need help on deciding . I want 17" rims and am gonna use the stock tires . Any and all recomendations are needed . Also prices and what online sites I can get them from CHEAP would be helpful . I posted this pic cause I'm asking for as many phototshop pics of different wheels styles as possible . Also remember there gonna be 17" so please be resonable . Thanks guys .

Ant you don't like my 17" SSR comps I think they would look fat on your ride. In silver with the polished lip or the sSR GT1 the only two I recommend if you want performance get the comps. if you want looks and performance the GT1 and the're cheaper.

wheelmax has good prices but they're peckerheads on the phone. Go to 18" and drop your car w/ c/t springs. Then you'll have the ride you will really like!

I wouldn't keep the stock tires. They suck ass.

IMO it would make more sense to take that money and invest it in tires. It's tough to match any wheels to the Sundance Gold color.

I was going to wait until I used up my stock tires before getting new ones. Well, all four are flat spotted now and my car has $11,000 in damage. If you drive hard/fast at all, go ahead a get some better shoes.

I got 4 brand new coopers on the car now w/ a C/T drop allready in there . I don't want 18's w/ low profile tires . I had that on my RL with no drop and it rode like shit . The cl-s allready has a tight suspension . I like the SSR wheels but don't want to spend anymore than $200 per wheel . Any photoshop pics would also be greatly appriciated .

Dont worry "ANT"...I just hand to pick out rims for the car too and it was a hard choice. I understand your limitations, just wish you would have thought about rims before you purchased the tires (Coopers). I went with 19" Racing Hart C2 and they were 2200 with tax and tires, so w/out tires they should you should get them at or near 225 per rim. Good luck, and by the way silver and graphite are the only styles I think look good on the PDG.

Most 17" rims will look kinda small on our car because our 17s have spokes that go to the lip. Most 18" rims look equivalently right on our car the way our stock wheel size looks.

Only get 17s if you're going for performance, in which case something like SSR Comps are a good choice.

Ant: Actually I changed my profile because I had mistakenly put the wrong completion date in it. Anyhow, the car is not finished and it will be done in 3 weeks so calm down and look for posts soon with updated pics. Thanks for the interest though.
