I have an 07 AWD and and I'm wondering if anyone had some suggestions for me for a nice 17" wheels for winter I have 20's for summer. My car is starfire white so I'm thinking a darker color wheel since the winters in Buffalo NY have lots of salt and dirt.

 

why wont you just use your stock 17"? they're not that bad after all

 

^a very good idea isn't it lol

 

They are all scratched up bad an need new tires so I figured why not get new ones

.........thoughts?

 

stock wheels > rotas. you won't have to worry about quality.

 

just use stockers... those are meant for winters

**** didn't realize they were that bad even though my stocks are beat up

 

How much can you get the Rota wheels for? You could also get your OEM 17s
powder coated.

 

$650, Ive been looking for a place in buffalo ny that does powder coating not much luck and i hear it really takes its toll on the rim it self.

Anyone got any other wheels they would like to suggest for me?

 

Like others have said, probably better to just use the OEMs for winter since they take a beating with the dirt and salt anyways. Then you can use the money on other mods

 

I use my stockies for winter with some studded snow tires on them. Get studs for your tires. Your tires are what count in winter. They're not usually illegal, but check your local laws. I know they're legit across Canada, NY shouldn't be any different.

 

i use the stocks for 3 winters so far, they are destroyed....the paint is starting to come off.

 

I know that's my concern I am getting offered 450 for the stock wheels which are pretty beat up I feel I should take it and get new 17s for the winter so this thread is basically just if anyone had suggestions for new 17" ideas on a starfire white car.... I'm thinking black wheels
