Opinions on these wheels...

What do you think of these wheels:

American Racing: Split (Series 659)
17x7.5
5/110
+45mm Offset



I'm new to replacing wheels, so go easy on me. I wanna stick with 17s for now. These are one-piece chrome plated alloy. I have the 2.4 SS coupe and I think these would look sharp on it.

I'm open to opinions on these wheels, and any suggestions anyone has for other considerations. Thanks all!

nice, any split/twin 5 spoke I like.

But the 2.4 SS doesn't have a 5x110 bolt pattern.........

Cool. I actually found the 17s cheaper at wheelsforless.com. I just wonder if they are reliable sellers.

They are also available on ebay. Dont remember how much but it is a wheel company that will give you a deal on the rims and tires.
