I say gunmetal with a polished lip would look great. As For the cheap tires, if you have a stock or near stock GA16De in it, you won't really notice any negatives with the cheaper tires if switching form the stock 175 65 14's it likely came with. In fact, it will likely be better.

I would have to agree with you. Unless you have a super race car or xcross. The differences between cheap and good quality tires are minimal. but your paying $599 shipped for rims/tires.. can't expect to have the best.

I like Rota's for their price, weight, and looks. As far as tires go I would get get those separate.
i love rotas, i just saw a set in person (i have only seen them online before) they were the slipstreams 15 in. on an eagle talon that was pushing 300hp AWD the thing is a BEAST and the wheels and blacked out tails made it look even meaner.

The biggest negative to white wheels on a white car is that they will not match unless you paint them to match. There are a wide variety of whites on the market-even the cheapie synthetic enamels that come in less than 20 colors offer 3 or 4 whites usually!

Alright guys the tires are Kumhos for all the 17' wheels from that site.

Komhos are a good tire brand right?

They ran out of white wheels, and the items on sale are all discontinued so when they're gone they're gone. So I guess its gunmetal for me.

Was looking at gunmetal with a chrome lip. Good choice or just normal gunmetal?

I have Kuhmo Ecsta 711's 195/50R15 and am satisfied with what I paid for them and how they perform. I only do city driving and only seldom drive in rain. No snow. I'm not taking corners at 40mph, drifting, or concerned about transferring the massive hp my engine produces directly to the wheels :p

They are decent, but not the best. There are better tires out there, it all depends on what type of driving you do and under what conditions.

I think the gunmetal with the polished lip would look great...any pics?

I was looking at the Exel Pack-5 white wheels on that page too, the wheels with the chrome plates on the spokes. They look kinda cool but not sure how they would look on my car.

not bad of a choice... thats a nice one! mesh rims with a lip
