hey guys. i want to get a set of winters. im looking for 17's, perferably steel wheels. i know they are made because i saw a pic of someones car on here, he was from canada and said something about tires23.com. if anybody knows of a place in the states that offer 17' steelies please let me know. im assuming shipping on steel wheels from canada wouldnt be cheap.

tirerack doesnt offer 17 inch steel wheels, its only alloys and starting price on winter rims is like 99 a peice.

First "info" i'd provide would be.. get a new / different car.... Don't buy HUGE SUV/4Door/Family Car... that comes stock with 18's and slap 17's on it...

If i need too I can post some links to pictures of 16/17" rims on speed6's TERRIBLE looking... And they aren't going for performance...

If you're trying to reduce weight and get better 1/4 times and track times... Then by all means PLEASE get smaller rims... the stock are heavy... but most ppl are going for "looks" and 17's are terrible on this car...

i only want the rims for winter. i dont care about looks over the winter months. i want 17' wheels( cheapest i can find) and a nice high performance winter tire. as for lighter wheels in the future i might do it. but i have to see.

For winter, would you consider 16" steelies? I have a set that could be yours for cheap.

as far as a i know only 17 inch rims can be used on the ms6. i apologize, i do not believe i mentioned its for a ms6 not a m6. i KNOW someone on this site had 17 inch steelies. they were from canada. unless im thinking of 6tech.com i dunno. im going nuts

I saw you had the ms6, I just forgot that there isn't enough clearance with 16's. Good luck in finding something!
