Looking for new rims and tires.

[quake101]

I know this will most get a lot of differnt replys but I really want to do all the research I can.

I want to find a good set of 17" cobra r's 4 lugs. I'm also looking for a good set of tires while I'm at it. I know nothing about tires so I'm going to need a lot of help. Where can I find the best deal but not get something that will blow up in my face.

Joe please, do NOT get the four lugged cobra r's.. they don't look right imho.. do the cheap 5-lug conversion and get the real ones if you want to get them..  the pony wheels look great on the foxes..

The 4 lug cobra r's don't bug me(remember I'm running turbines now). I also want a silver finish on the rims.

Okay, bear with me... this is basically a copy from Michael's post.  Please answer the following questions and I'll help ya out!  

Are you a mostly straight line type of driver or do you like the occasional hard cornering?

How many miles are you hoping to get out of your tires?

How important is a harsher/ smoother ride vs. quick tire/vehicle response to you?

Do you plan on doing any racing (on your street tires)? 

Are you sticking with the stock size or which size are you looking at? (obviously 17" )

How much are you wanting to spend?

Mostly straight line type.

How many miles are you hoping to get out of your tires?

Normal?

How important is a harsher/ smoother ride vs. quick tire/vehicle response to you?

I like a smooth ride then a all response tire

Do you plan on doing any racing (on your street tires)? 

Not really, but I can't say I'll let some ricer take off on me...

Are you sticking with the stock size or which size are you looking at? (obviously 17" )

16(pony) or 17(cobra r)
It really matters on what deal I can find.

How much are you wanting to spend?

I don't have a lot of money but with rims and tires I'm thinkin' a TOTAL of about 800-900?

Well I picked up a set of brand new Cobra R's 17's.

Now all I need is tires........and I still know nothing about them, or what to get.
