Default Sport Edition wheels...anyone have experience with them?
There are some cheap sport edition wheels on tire rack for $88 in 17". Was thinking about getting them for the winter. Do you guys have any experience with sport edition wheels?<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/sportedition/swap/se_f2_ci3_l.jpg">PIC</a></li></ul>

Default you probably get what you pay for, but it doesn't matter since they are winter rims
but at 88 bucks a piece I'd grab 5 and keep one as a spare. You shouldn't have problems with 17's unless you hit a pothole dead on at speed. Plus they are decent looking. I say get em

Default what size wheels?
you don't want to go wider than 225 really for winter tires. but if you went 17's you would use 225/45/17's.

225 is the how wide the tire is right?
40 is how high it is?
Please clarify, I'm a tire retard...

Default you've got it right
225 is the width
45 is the aspect ratio which is basically the sidewall height
