Default help me find winter wheels pls

ok so i've been looking around for a set of winter wheels. i want 17s 7-8" wide. as long as it doesn't have ridiculous ET i don't rly care what it is but i'd like to stay in the 35-42mm range. budget is 300 max. it'd be great if they had snow tires, no all seasons pls. with snows 500-600. also 5x112 and at least 66.56mm hub bore.

i found a set but they were butt ugly but they were the only ones that fit my constraints lol. these are the ones i found but they are ugly

Honestly those Konigs don't look bad. I don't like the two-tone but you can always respray them.

How about rattle can them white since your car is also white. It's gonna look like you're part of the snow!

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/pts/1956534997.html $350 for 4 Mercedes wheels. With a low profile tire I think those would actually look pretty good. Offer $350 shipped and see what happens. I can get you snow tires for cheap and then you can give me the race springs to go with the Bilstein's I'll have pretty soon.

A full set of these would look SICK!

Are these really 5x112?

OEM with some B5 S4 wheels

I found all of these using www.craiglook.com and searching 5x112 17

you're crazy nick. it costs over 100 to ship wheels with tires. you think they're that desperate? and B5 S4 wheels won't fit because the hub bore is 57.1mm and my hub is 66.56mm

I think that's part of the reason why I can't help you. Shipping from CA is gonna be expensive as heck.

They lowered the price of the Konig!
