If you can get them in 17x9.5/17x11 I would definitely get them. I like them, but just not on my car

These are 17X9's, but they are available in 18X9 for $160.00. And I would make new centerpieces...

My first thought was "Mustang wheels" and then "Hotwheels". But the price is pretty decent.

After dropping $12K on a new engine and repair parts I amnot looking for a $1500 set of wheels. I am only considering it because the price is right.

17X9 so I don't need to buy new tires yet. I also am not really a fan of big wheels. Biggest I think I would go is 18's

Ehh.... I don't really care for black wheels. It seems everyone has them, and I don't really care for how they look on cars. Just my opinion though.
