Replaced stock 17" with better looking 17" wheels

[Robperri]

I bought the car for a reason. That was to cut fuel expenses and trips to the pump. So I searched for a good alternative 17" wheel to transfer my stock tires and TPMS over to. I believe the stock wheel is approx. 23lbs. I purchased 17 x 7.5 Sparco Assetto Gara wheels from Tire Rack. The Sparco's are 19lbs. with 45mm offset. The new wheels stick out 10mm (0.4") farther. When the tires wear out I might look at a lightweight 18" wheel.

What did you do with the stock rims?

When people think of 'hybrids' they don't think of a car that looks that modern, aggressive and stylish. Good job.

Once I take the obligatory pictures of my stock rims; I think I'll either sell all four or keep just one for a spare tire.

What's a fair price for each with domestic shipping?

Thanks! I might make an attempt at vinyl covering the horizontal slats of the grill next. I ordered 4 black w/chrome lettering Ford logos for the center caps too.

What did those wheels cost? I am considering going to 17's due to availability of LRR tires in the 18" size, or lack thereof. I picked some out at TR but they are the same ones that CC has, and if I get those, and his go missing...................

My wheels were $150 each. TR has about 8 different LRR tires in 18" (235/45-18) size. You can do a search for LRR tires only.
