Anyone on aftermarket 17's?

Just wondering how many of you guys are on 17s. I know most of you will say buying 17s is stupid blah blah blah. Just wanna see some pics of some TLs on aftermarket 17s if possible

the only reason to stick with 17s is to stay light weight.
therefore, rims are not going to be as attractive as 18s or 19s.
limited design and material will hamper in the looks department all for the sake of having a 16lb rim.

so, the real question, is why do you want 17s?
is it to keep a set of tires that you have?
or is it to go light weight? because it definitely isnt for looks.

Most people go with the eneki RPF1's because it is 16-17lbs.
its not the most attractive wheel, but it can be in a bigger size.

what is your goal for the car?

Yea I have a brand new set of tires on here. Just got he car an they were on it already, didnt spend any money on them. Just wanted to see how some 17s look. I mean the car comes with 17s so i cant seem to understand why everyone on here says they look ugly.

They don't look ugly. They just offer no improvement in appearance since the stock wheels are 17" unless you're making the switch to the type-s rims.
