Choices, Choices

So Im looking for soem rims/tires now so when this chunk of rock unfreezes in a few months I can go directly to the shop and get some put on. Only problem is I am very picky, generaly have expensive tastes and I am cheap. This combo generally makes pickign rims/tires kinda hard : )I like how the stock rim/tire combo at the moment fills in my wheel well, so figure ill go with a combo that keeps it close to the same overall diameter. Plus I want to keep the same diameter so that the speedo doesn't get all whacky. With the way michigan roads are and such figure its best to go with 17's over 18's plus they will be cheaper too. From looking at other profiles and such seems the standard tire for 17 is 225/45 plus it looks nice on the rim and keeps diameter close to the same from looking at the calculator someone posted.Looking for any suggestions/opinions on a nice set of rims/tires out there. I looked thru places like discounttire and belletire, which are my local shops anf picked out some rims I like, uploaded them on my photobucket account if anyoen wants to see http://smg.photobucket.com/alb.../Rims/I like how the black ones look, but given what I have seen/heard i think the silver/polished ones may be more my style. I really like the stylings of Enkei RS-5 and TSW Sakata5 look

personally i like the look of these, and think it would look good on ur carbut i've liked the enkeis alot too..specially the silver ones for your ridemainly it's all personal preferanceif you really want, send me a side/angle shot of your vibe and i can do some photoshopping for ya, i did literally about 150 on my sunfire to figure out what kinda rims/color i wanted for it. and im doing the same with my vibe but i know what color i want.

Dude,if you're so picky,why are you asking for advice.Rims are a personal choice. Check out tirerack.com,they have a virtual vibe there and you can test out rims.

Kind of a step in the wrong direction, no?

[WaveAction]

not at all..theirs really no direction..u can put 13" daytons on..or get mud tires like that other dude is..theirs never a wrong direction..im sure thats what people said at first about the mini trucks being air bagged..cause trucks were "ment" to be raised..but ppl had other thoughts

13" gold 100 spoke daytons with a hydrolic system in it!

I personaly like the Enkei RPF1, but, that might be a Subaru thing...lol... I DO KNOW that a LOT of race cars use the RPF1, I could flip open a Super Street or like mag and look at any of the "race" articles and see plennty of cars running them as track wheels... Very strong, decently light (16lbs for a 17") and GREAT price.. IIRC, I can get a set in 17" to fit my Subie for ~1200$ WITH tires... I also really like the RPM2 by Enkei, which isn't as light at the RPF1, but it does look more like the wheels i'm trying to emulate, whixh is the ones that came stock on the Subaru Impreza 22b...

[ramenboy...]

i'm biased, i guess. i like these w/ the polished rim

I just remembered somethign Iw as going to ask, does the plastic covers I have on mine effectivley give the tire the illusion of 17inch rims? Man i wish mine had come with soem real rims (even the stock ones) then the cheap black steel ones with the pontiac covers
