I really like these wheels, but I just need to hear some opinions on them. If I got them Id get 16s in bronze. Heres what they look like:

Hey, like the wheels in black, I haven't seen too many Silver EP's with bronze rims. Maybe someone could photo chop some for you???

Thats true you dont see many Eps with bronze rims. I like the look personally :D ! Ill have to do a photochop of the rims on my car, Ive just been too busy to do it. There was a silver 350Z on the cover of SCC not too long ago that had bronze ProN1s and it looked clean as hell.

I think they will look great on your ep, but why not 17s?

17s are an option, Id just prefer to get 16s to save come cash on tires, plus Im thinking Ill leave them on all year long, and I dont think 17s are good for driving in the snow.

those are nice wheels, i was gunna get some for my teg but it got stolen. i got a pretty good deal on some rota c-8s so i went with those over the N1's. the thing about the N1's though, is that if you want them to fill up the wheel well youll have to get a larger size due to the recessed lip. but i do think they look nice. I would rock um!

You'd be surprised how little the difference in price really is between 16" and 17" tires. For a set of four, you'd probably pay around $40-50 more.

just a thought.

the 16" are 16.25lb
the 17" are 20lb
the 18" are 20.5lb

for the money, you can do a lot better in terms of weight.

16" = $185 per wheel
17" = $199 per wheel

Those are the prices for the wheels from Wheelmax. You guys bring up some good points about size. I do want to fill the wheel gap so it would make sense to get 17s, but I also want a wheel thats going to give me a fairly smooth ride and that I could keep on all year. Any further thoughts could really help me out. I really think these wheels are it, now it comes down to size. :)

I say go for 17'' with 215/45= stock ride quality.

Hummm.....sounds good about the ride quality. Do you think Id have any problems running 17s in the snow with some good all season tires?

I think you should be ok with upto 3-4 inches of snow on ground; but what is more important than that is to switch to oem wheels/tires during winter because they say salt damages the finish on the wheels, also this way you will put less miles on your performance tires and enjoy them in sunny summer.:)

Since Im keeping any wheels I get on all year long maybe Ill just get some Slips, they are cheaper and lighter than the ProN1s. They might not look as nice, but they might fit my needs better. I dont know Ill have to sit on this for a while. Thanks again for the feedback everyone!
