They're ok, but not my first choice...

id go for something else. maybe a lil bigger like 19s. get a 5 spoke but something tht looks a lil more aftermarket.

Here's my other wheel choice. Both cost the same.

I'd go for the second choice.

Are these 17" wheels? I might recommend going with a 18". (I know there's the cost factor.) Keep the stock 17"s for bad weather seasons.

Try looking on EBay for inexpensive tires. I got my set of 235/45/18 tires for less than $500 shipped cross country. (Goodyear Private Brands)

wayyyy to stock, get something more different.If you really were stuck between the 2 rims,get the 2nd.Dont waste ur money on something that looks like it came with the car from the dealership unless ur getting a great deal.But, ide say the 2nd choice if anything~

It's funny dude... your first choice looks like chromed out stock wheels from the V6 models... your second choice looks like the stock wheels from the I4 models :-P

Of the two, I like the second better.

well, the wheel is not bad.....I'll choose either 19"s or 20"s to be notice....just like the one on PT cruiser.

Those are 17" on PT, and the picture is a rendering and not accurate...

THANKS EVERYONE for the input. I'm just going for a subtle change because I think OEM wheels are bland...I'm too old for Bling-Bling; I'm too straight for spinners; and I'm too cheap for Exotics. Going to 18", 19", 20", etc., ..not my thing because of compromise in ride and cost of those tires.

I think my final choice is the American Racing Casino, Diamond Cut (not even Chrome)....if they don't look good, guess I'll just have to live with it.

Thanks again. Guess I'm just a boring old guy......... :lol:

Nothing taken offensively from any post, and I hope I didn't imply that...when you ask for opinions you should always be prepared for just about anything, from good, to bad, to flame to downright stupid and nasty. (Thankfully none of that in this thread) If anything, I should have been more specific upfront about what I wanted to do and not do....

I love this forum, and have nothing but respect for 99% of those that post, that's why it's cool to ask.

Peace and keep posting....
Gotta go take some geritol :lol:

I like the second choice. But I also agree with Prodigy
