I got some 17 inch 5 spokes for Christmas and I'm anxious to put them on.



Edit: Pics are posted down the page.

I put my 17" Enkei Evo5's on last spring and they've run well and looked great in the mud/snow/salt mixture that's on the roads out here in the boonies.-grin

My rims are aluminum alloy with some kind of polished finish and I can't tell of any breakdown or corrosion anywhere on the wheels. Just a little soap and water and they look like they did when they were new.

I remember I had magnesium(sp?) alloy wheels on my old 5th gen and the years of salt and road grime made them look like junk. So I'd say material and finish make the most difference when it comes to keeping wheels looking pretty.
