Need a brand recommendation (I'm cheap)
Just bought a 93 100s and I'd like to replace the stock 15" wheels, probably with 17". I'll readily admit that I'm doing it solely for looks, I'm not going to drive it particularly hard and I never race. That said, I do live in Jersey where the potholes outnumber the cars.
Any recommendations for something this is relatively cost conscious, somewhat conservative in looks and won't bend on every bump?
TIA

215/45R17 right? Fuzion HRi is hard to beat at $76 each for an all season tire with decent wear. For something a bit more sporty in an A/S checkout the Sumi HTR+ $83 or for a summer only tire Fuzion ZRi has done well, just stay out of the snow with them, and expect less wear.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&url=/tires/index.jsp">Tires</a></li></ul>

Re: Thanks Gary, any wheel recommendations?
Like Reggie said, mostly a matter of cosmetics versus price with our wheels.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&url=/wheels/index.jsp">wheels</a></li></ul>
