I'm actually about to buy a set of 17x9's black and gold BBS wheels. A guy I know is dying to get rid of them and I'm basically getting them for free. I'm getting them just to save a few $$$ on some hoosiers. Tires are expensive.

All of the Grand-Am Koni Challenge cars have to run 17" wheels. We run 17 X 9" Enkei's RPF1 I beleive is the model/style. Lightweight and rugged.
