So what do you guys think of these rims and tires ? Good fit on an accent and fairly good deal ?

If you can stand 0.5" of extra diameter they should look good and those tires are good. They'll slow down your acceleration vs. something of the right diameter but not too bad.
My buddy has Neo Gen's! Great all around performance tire. Go a little easy though in rain/wet conditions because they can slip a little, but otherwise....great for any other time. smile.gif

Put on some 215/35/17 tires and with a lightweight 17 and it won't be too bad. That's only a 0.2" increase in diameter. It's too bad that they don't make a 205/35/17.

Well those rims and tires were sold instantly apparently. I've been browsing craigslist trying to find some good deals that include tires. I really can't afford to be buying wheels and then new tires on top of that. What would you guys recommend, 15s ?
