Hey, why don't U just put some Winters on those 17's? so much money to buy a next set of rims and then rubber.

that is what I did before I stopped driving my car in winter.. But also, I have Supra TT brakes so I was forced to use the Chrome 17's hehe

I have 4 Pirelli 210winters 70%left in my garage. They are over $300CAD + tax each everywhere, I can give U an insane deal. I can give U all 4 for $400CAD
Amazing tire with such high speed rating.. u can do 210KM or higher on these tires...

My car is parked and I have them available... let me know..
Im In Toronto, U?

I would put winter tires on my 17's, but they are chrome and the salt eats them so i would go with the oem 16s. Im not looking for seperate rims/new tires, I want a package of Take-offs or something similer with good tread on them.

Im in toronto.

Dude, I'm in toronto as well, How about U check these out?

I had them On my stock 17 chromes, Salt is bad for chrome, but If U keep it clean it should be no problem...

That is what I did...
Like I said U can't beat that price, Also If U want some summers for your 17's let me know, I have 4 sets of Khumo's 265's in the back and 235's in the front, let me know..

U can see them in person, If U Like...

I will no longer be needing my stock 17's with summers or winters as I will no longer drive my car in winter and i'm also On 19's NOW!

I can't go back to 17's
let me know,

I would, but I want to keep these wheels for summer and I don't want to ride around with scuffed up wheels from the winter. That's why I want the 16's, just cheap take-offs.

luc, where abouts in Canada are you? You might find the rims, but not the tires or vice versa. For an excellent Canadian tire site (the tirerack of Canada if you will) check out www.tiretrends.com
