NEW 17's..... WHAT SHOULD I GET?

[SHOMA]

Hello all, I encountered a construction trench last week, that bent my 2 front wheels. I am getting the wheels redone, and repaired, but have decided I will use it as an excuse to maybe get new rims. I can get American Racing's pretty cheap, I know someone at a store, anyone running AR's? Any suggestions? I like the look of my Mille Milia's, but want a change!

I've had AR's before, they were pretty decent wheels. Only thing, the ones I had were polished and seemed to lose their luster quicker than I expected.

BTW, I'll sell ya mine.

think you'd sell your 17's cheap since 2 are bent? worth a try anyways

There are very few ARs that I like. I like the MMs a lot. You'd have to get some pretty kick ass wheels to do better.

Just Bought a set of MM's with Perilli's from Tire Rack. Sweet ! If you want to sell your 2 straight ones let me know. Sure like the look especially with 96 brake upgrade.

Red 95 MTX
Green 92

I plan to purchase 17" Centerline forged when I do my 13" Baer upgrade to help make up for the added wieght of the rotors and Quaife. Those centerlines are so light and strong you can pick up a few hp by changing rims.

Thanks to all for the info! It was an awesome construction trench in the road, which I ended up putting in a claim for in my town.... They are now replacing 3 of the rims.... I went to buy new ones from tirerack, but they are outta stock until the beginning of august and Im leavin for vaca next Saturday... I found a place nearby to repair them for $100 total..... It didnt even reach the wheel, just put minor flatspots on one of them, and tweaked the other one somewhere..... I do like the Teamdynamics that I think Fredhurderjr is running, the one that was rear ended, they looked nice..... Thanks to all for the input, I am still considering a change, but want to get the right ones, I wont regret... What about Enkei? Tastefull ones, not the bling blingin chromes... THANKS FOR THE INFO!

You should get some 18's for the rear and just leave the 17's upfront hehe j/k

I always thought the TSW VX-1's looked good in 17's.

What about the konig tantrums?

Enkei RS5 and CDR9 s are pretty sweet. I was going to buy some for the GL, but I may sell it now that I finally got my SHO.
