17" simulated 3 piece lemond racing wheels. had it since 6/02, just put the new wheels on last week, what a difference. they get alot of looks and the low pro tires hug the road like crazy!

Wow, they looked smaller for some reason. What sidewall height are you running? Those do look smaller than the stock 50.

you guys ready for this? i got 'em on ebay with the tires for $619 shipped (everything was brand new of course) they only weigh 25 pounds each. no one can belive they cost that little. i dont know enough about tires to comment on the side wall size......i'll just say.....low? and i'm scared of potholes now, lol.

Wow! Well you certainly cannot beat that price. As for the sidewall height, you can look on the tire. There should be a series of numbers listed there. The stock 17s on my car, for example, are 205/50/ZR17. The 50 is the sidewall.I can imagine you're a bit spooked about potholes. There's not a lot of rubber there. Bet they do handle well though.
