Default Getting brand new 17s

hey guys,

im looking to buy brand new 17 inch alloys. i dont wanna spend more than £400 including tyres for em. wheres the best place to look for some good looking and rare alloys? i know of alloyboy.com and ebay of course. where are other good deals?

one more thing, ive seen sometimes that some of guys put different alloys onto your car through computer graphics to see what they look like. how do u do this? i mean where do u get the alloy pictures at angles from? or do u edit them urselves? cheers thanks!

most people use photoshop to edit there photos and put different rims on and such, if you find a pair of rims you like and have a pick of your car, put in in the chop shop section and mabey someone can help you out and do it, theres also a web site that sells rims and if you have a pic of your car you upload load it and you can pick different rims to put on it, the web site is www.1010tires.com , the best deals are the rims,rubber,lug nuts,valve covers and mounting and balencing all for 1 price..most places do that

HAHA. Ya these two sites are probalyl where u will end up buying from. Their both really good. www.tirerack.com and www.tires.com there real easy u just tell it what kind of car u have and itll bring up a picture of it and u can just throw on the different rims. Really usefule Also im not sure how much 400 and that lil money sign is. anyway good luck, rims are one of the biggest visual upgrades to a car.

Most of us are from the US and Canada, so if you're looking for a place to buy in the UK, take a look over here: https://www.hondacivicforum.com/forumid_214/tt.htm

So around $400 isn't too cheap to spend on a set of wheels?
