what do you guys think I should go with here? I love both of these rims and I can't decide. Matrix shadow 17's with 235 40 17 tires or helo slick chrome rims with 205 40 17 tires. the 205 are a lower profile aren't they? either set is going to cost me about a $1000 so I need some input, my car isn't dropped but I do have a molly designs kit also. I am also interested in if the chrome rims will way a lot more?

I like the chrome ones myself. They will be heavier though, if that really matters to you.

yeah Chrome is heavier lol ![tongue tongue](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/tongue.gif) I had my rim's on my old bike chromed once.. it gained an amzing 115 gram's !! damn lost atleast 200 hp because of that LOL ![smile smile](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/smile.gif) chrome rimm's are normal rim's with a VERY VERY VERY tin layer of chrome on it wich way's hardly anything.. so .. just choose the best looking one.. I'd go for the chrome ![smile smile](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/smile.gif)

Chorme is heaver cause it can only be applied to steel and some other heaver metals. Other aftermarket rims are made outa lighter materials like alm. ![thumbsup thumbsup](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/thumbsup.gif)

if yoru getting 235/40/17 it better be 8 inches wide.
if you get 205/40/17 then a 8 inch wheel is too wide.
and no 205 is not the profileit is the width. 40 is the series(PROFILE) it is the height in percent fo the width. i . e. 40 percent of 205 etc.
