Are there any selection for polished aluminum out there? That'd save me some money wouldn't it? Or do they suck?

I'm in Jamestown, NY btw. The poor sections in town are TERRIBLE with all the dips and stuff.

American Eagle 025's. Good luck finding them for cheap.... I searched and searched for the style I wanted, then contacted a seller on eBay to have him get the wheels in stock and sell them to me. Worth the hassle/money, though.

You can buy that exact wheel/tire set, if you want. I haven't take then tires off yet. Shoot me an offer, and I may consider it

PM me if you want more pictures.... or I can give you a link, I've posted them up here many times

Cosign. Not hard, just time consuming. Great fun, though.

I'd find a pic of some rims your interested in and then use photoshop or some program like that to crop them onto a picture of your car and see how they look. If you don't have photoshop, I'd be happy to do it for you.

I'm looking at these Eagle 025's and I can't figure out how to know what sized tires will fit on them and my car. All the numbers I can find about them are that they're 17" diameter and 7.5" wide. Also the "offset" is 42.

I want to get some Goodyear Tripletred all seasons if I can. Is there 1 specific size that will fit or is there a range of sizes that will fit? By size I mean the "225/50-16" way of describing them. Obviously the diameter would have to be exactly 17 but what range of numbers can the width and aspect ratio be?

Yes, those should fit fine on the car.

I had 245/40/17's on mine, and the tires were a little too wide for the rims. I personally liked the look, others don't. I'd say a more common size would be 235/45/17
