aftermarket no names, but don't know when they will get bent~

always buy factory wheels in my opinion, coz they will hold up their value and quality is not an issue.

if you want 17" look at the 700-900 for a set of brand new, 500 and up for used

Most factory wheels are pretty boring and "un-original" Besides, they weigh like a ton. I've upgraded from OEM TL-S wheels to Rota subzero and I shaved off about 30lbs.

You can buy a nice set from tirerack.com, our sponsor. It's all about the bling value. Less bling = less $$$.

This isn't necessarily true, it just depends on which aftermarket wheel you are comparing.
