Inch rims that is. I'm eyeing two sets, both are the same price mind you, and neither come with rubber. The first are 16" Mille Miglia Spyders that have about 2,000 miles on them, one has a light scractch, for $250.

The second set are brand new Eagle Alloys 17" Tuner wheels. Same price; $250. What do ya'll think? The first pic is kinda fuzzy, but I've seen the wheels in person and they are mint.

I like the first set... but they would be better at 17. IMHO I like the size of 17s.

Doesn't look the same after my sister cracked one of my wheels and it's "Utahification" does it?

I don't know how much a concern money is for you, but the 17" tires will probably be more expensive. Just somnething to keep in mind.

I'd say option #2 goes better with your Lumina.

GET NICE TIRES!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!

I really can't stress that enough. I hate seeing $5 tires on $2000 rims.

why settle for 17s when you can do 18s?

I like the 16's personally. Both would look hot on your car.

Because I don't want to take 18s out of the hole.

Um. $250 per rim? Or for all? I'd run the 16s and wrap em in some good rubber. Pirelli or yokohoma are my fav.

Not to Hijack the thread, but I need some new tires and was wondering whats good out there. I have been quite happy with my BF Goodrich TA VR4's. Good balance of wet and dry traction. I want to keep the stock size of 225/60/16, and have found in the past that my particular size does limit the selection.

Zumina mentioned Kumho tires, which is a brand I have never heard of. I don't follow the trends so I thought I'd ask here since there seem to be some members who are up on this sort of thing.

A couple of things to keep in mind, I don't want directional tread, or asymetric. I'm lazy and like an easy tire rotation. :D

$250 for all 4
