what do you thnk of those on my car 03 coupe...red
do u think that the 17's would be a real rough ride..? or just barely any different than stock? and won't it give me better handling to becuase theyre 7" wide instead of the stock 5.5" or whatever it is

well, the rims look pretty good, nice and clean, but the width of the rim only changes the ride roughness slightly, the main factor in tire comfort is the profile of the tire, i've got 17's with 205/40/R17's and the ride is really rough, hence me getting new 15" rims with 195/55/R15's for way more comfort

RE: kobe rebels?
it'll be rougher since u have a smaller profile tire, less cushion for the pushin...the wider wheel will allow u to fit a wider tire on there and because of that, it'll handle a bit better. those wheels are a bit heavy tho....there are 15 and 16in wheels that are 7in wide. since their smaller, there will be more profile on the tire which will make for a smoother ride than the 17s and since their the same width, u'll be able to fit the same width tire as the 17s. all at the same time being a good 5lbs or so lighter(which can help with ride quality and better handling). not to mention cheaper...
