2361, rims ???? 17's and questions Posted by Talon, May-17-01 10:04 AM
i can get a set of 4 brand new 5lug rims that are 17's off of ebay for around 375
they look like this

also is it too corny or unoriginal to get some that another member has? hey klipz you like um enough that you would recomend them to me? i am just looking at buy new tires here soon and i really dont want to pay 120 per tire for 16's when i can get 17's for almost the same price for some kick ass yokohama's

I want to say it's like $125 a wheel or something like that.

my wheels were $575 each, $125 of that was for the chrome, so michael youre pretty close, i think 17s may be a little cheaper to chrome, maybe all four for $400 flat. depends on where you get it done at and how well the job is done. done skimp out on the price or you will regret it. any chrome done for under $350 is questionable, it will chip, fade and may scratch too easily. chrome shoguns will look nice though

if you want to get an idea of what your chrome will turn out like based on the price you pay, go around town and look at some chrome wheels. the cheap chrome wheels (KMC,prime, eagle) will all have a considerably duller chrome, when looking at it it will look like a reflective silver, if you look at mine, or some lexanis, niche's, neepers, etc, it will be completely reflective. 100% mirror finish, it should look like glass. if you go with a cheap chrome job you wont get this for what you pay.
