estimated cost

my estimation:

17" wheels - $350 a piece
tires- $450 shipped to your door (khumo's from tirerack.com)
mount and balance- 50

i'm only at $1900.

if your gonna spend this much go to an 18 or 19, then you won't risk the fact of regret. look at it as a one time thing and go all out, but shop smart. check ebay, tirerack, forums, etc. sometime you can find really good deals with wheels and tires. i wouldn't advice on getting mono 5 , everybody has it. go with something you don't see much like carlsson, lorinser, bbs, renntech, etc.

I thought you said $1700 on the other post?

IMO, a C-coupe looks better with classic 5 spoke wheels. Mono V does not match very well....

Bad deal, if you go with Kuhmos you could almost get 18s for $2250. Wheels (18") $419 x 4 ($1676) + SH, Tires Kuhmo 225/40 $120 x 4 ($480) + SH + install. It would be around $2300 for 18" so I cant see $2250 being a good deal for 17" More like $375 x 4 ($1500) + SH, Tires $100 each, plus install. Maybe more like $2050-$2150.
