    17 inch TSW rims of of a 97 eclipse. They want 200 for the set, I think ill have to get spacers and most definitley tires. Is it worth it?

    Is it the pic or are the spokes scuffed a little? I think it all depends on how much the tires are gunna run.

    A popular 17' size for a tire seems to be a 205/40.

    There worth the price & Id go with a 205/40-17 tire too. As for the front rims then youll most likely need to do what I did. Im using 2-inch wheel spacers to push my fwd rims out enough so they will clear the rotors. I only needed to use 1/4 disc brake spacers on the rear.

    Sorry, Just hating cuz my ride is crap. Pick up some Toyo Proxes 4's Tires will stick to the ground. Run some R1R's and the rear will never slide.:waytogo:

    if those wheels had some sort of concaved curve to them, they'd be hot but that just screams fwd........... just my opinion, you can do better :waytogo:

    Lemme ask you a few questions and my opinions, im not gunna bash on you either cuz im running on stock steelies still.

    1. Do you like these style of wheels? Go for what you want!
    2. If you do like these style of wheels, is it possible to find a set like this with good tires for this low price? Give that a shot.
    3. And if these wheels are anything better than steelies, give it a try. As long they aren't $100 wheels from some cheap wheel shop. Lol

    This truck belongs to a buddy of mine that lives near me...granted its not your body style, but it gives you an idea of what that style rim looks like on a truck & with tires installed.

    Yeah, i like the look. I like to see what other people opinions are. Ive found some motegis with tires, nice tread. 205/40/17. 300 bucks. I just dont like the 15" old style ranger rims on it. :puke:


    WOw, thats a nice truck the rims look good too. Now i just have to make up my mind.

    Heres a thought too...it looks like the rim you have pictured on your truck is alittle scratched up, but you can paint it back the color it was or if they were mine Id paint them flat black!! :D
