I have a GT with GTS 15" rims... I like them!  But my front tires are in really bad condition...   My car needs an alignement (?) so I need new tires... my friends say this is a good opportunity to "upgrade" rims... Any suggestion???

I say you buy new rims prewrapped in tires, that should save you some cash

perfect time to upgrade since you need new tires anyway. I'd go 17's. Nice compromise between size & Performance.

def, a good time, i'd rather buy some used rims that are bigger and better, then to just buy new tires for stock rims

Well instead of starting a new thread, I gotta question fellas.I found the rims I want but now I need to know what the best tire size is to get. The price varys on this package based on tire size. 17x7 $1099 (205/40/17) $1150 (225/45/17) $1199 (235/45/17) ![[Linked Image from wheelmax.com]](http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/Axis/spider-sm.gif)

Price wise its not a problem, but I need to know the major difference in the tire size. What would be the best Performance wise?
