    You can get a set of Rotas for very cheap online (most are $650 for a set) or at SoG or Topspeed.

    For 17s you'd probably be better off running a 45 series tire; 225/45/17 is pretty close to the stock rolling circumferance. I'm running a 17x7 Prodrive wheel with a +53 offset and it sits perfectly flush with the sides of my wagon.

    What kinda look are you looking for?

    hahahahahahahhahahah... i remember saying that but i didn't remember who i said it too... also here are other benefits of getting 18's

    * they offer protection from AIDS
    * they improve acceleration
    * they make u taller and more intelligent
    * they do your laundry

    if you're gonna deal with a LOT of potholes, i would go with 17". i personally prefer 18x8, but that extra sidewall will keep the fillings in you mouth from getting knocked out on the holes (more so). i would also recommend something forged, but they co$t... but you do get a very strong/light wheel. as for tires, it really depends on the application and if you plan on getting a second set of wheels for track/autox.
