Well I went the cheapest route I could and I am pretty happy with the results. I picked up the 17x8 Fliks from edgeracing.com and found the tires in the classifieds. They are ContiWinterContact TS790 V Rated... 205s up front and 225s out back. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Now we just need some snow!!!

Note, I havent moved the car yet, thats why it may appear higher than stock.

Nice wheels! Happen to be one of the possible few that like the black rim look.

I like em.
It could look kinda corny, but what about some blue centercaps?

Nice http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
Fliks get a bad rap but I think it is because they cost is so low. It freaks people out

I have had no problems so far with mine. Good choice and they are real cheap right now

Whats up with the tires? 205/225? Weird setup..

So far, these tires are awesome. They have unbeatable grip in the rain- now i just need to wait for the snow...

Re: My winter setup (PingPanzer)

yeah i think the black wheel look can be pulled of on some cars and this is one of em. my friend has a 20th ae jazz blue and i painted a set of OZ f1s gloss black for him. they look sooo good with the black mirrors and it really sets off the brakes. now...on my car...total crap.. but blues...pretty sweet.
