HELP:What Wheel to buy?

[Familia323]

I need help finding a 17" gunmetal wheel that will fit onto a 2003 LX sedan. Id prefer it to be 7 or less spoke, but at this point I'll take any suggestions.. Oh yeah, and the hardest part... I'd like them to be under 1,000$US.... thanks in advance...

Hey Familia323
I ordered my wheels through www.wheelmax.com. You can easily get gunmetal rims for under 1000.00. Hell, you can spend under 900.00 for gunmetal. All the prices reflect free shipping also in the US. PM me for any other info.

thanks jason. I've been looking at wheelmax... the problem is.. weight. I might just have to deal with 17lbs a wheel.... hmm... I dont know.... will I notice that much of a difference in weight from stock? Well first I guess I should know what the stock LX wheels weigh??? Then I could compare.. but yeah thanks for the tip... anyone else have any ideas???

you might want to check out www.speedandstyle.com they have gun metal with tires for under $1000. The weight of the stock wheels for your 2003 protege' is about 26lbs. I believe. So whatever you buy may be much lighter than stock. I hope this helps.

I got a very low price on my gunmetal rims from wheelmax, but I don't recommend them. Read this thread to find out why: http://www.msprotege.com/vbb225/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22781

thanks for the help... but I've decided to wait on wheels cause I can't find any that I really like.. and I have tons of other stuff I want to do first....

i love my graphite konigs...i ordered from whalentire.com and they are excellant - btw they were 942 shipped, mounted, balanced, with a set of lock nuts...and they are 17s with 215/40s...and i only gained one pound per wheel over stock
