I'm looking into getting 17" wheels and tires in the same package if I can. Someone I know ordered a package from tirerack.com and they wheels came with the tires on them already balanced. Is there another good place to get them.
Also, why is there such a big price range? Some are as cheap as $100 and some go up to $1000? WTF? Is there anything wrong with getting cheap 100$ rims? And I also have no idea what makes a good tire. I need something that will grip through my aggressive turning when I drive (I take a lot of back roads where I live). But I don't want to sacrifice comfortability. I've never bought any of this stuff so i'm kinda lost... |

I'm having a little trouble finding out what looks good with my WHITE celica... suggestions? that's the same size and offset I have and it looks great! Those particular wheels aren't exactly my cup of tea, but if you like them, then great! personally, I like gold, bronze, gunmetal, or black wheels, any of which would look great on a white car. As for tires, go with some 225/45/17. You could probably fit a little bit wider, like 235/40/17 or even 245/40/17, but there's really no point if you're car isn't putting down high horsepower. You'll only lose a little bit of cornering ability with anything wider than that.
