I just got some 17" rims (10 spoke) from a Chrysler Sebring LXi. My friend is selling his car and he didn't have tires on 2 of the rims so he sold them to me for $125. I'm going to paint them gold (of course) and put them on in the spring-if it ever gets here. They'll look great on my car. I'll have 'em on just for the summer if they turn out good.
Anyone have any suggestions on tires. 2 of them have Goodyear Eagle RSA, but I want all tires to be new. I don't have a huge budget but would like some decent performance tires. Thanks for any advice. I'll post pics whenever I paint the rims, and maybe some before and after shots. I'll keep you posted.
Oh yeah, the current tires on the Chrysler rims are 215/50R17. If I got these would they be good on my bonneville or should I go with another size. I don't want tires that won't provide the right performance/handling. Thanks.

Go back to 225 at least. Stock width. You'll need the traction sooner or later. My budget was a big factor in my tire purchase as well. I found a great tire. Directional tread, great handling, and a fantastic price. Under 600 for all 4. In my sig. There'* a pic of them in the last brakes thread (the pic with my new red calipers and the beer bottles).

I'd use the same exact size tire, just don't know if the width of these rims is the same as my original wheels. Don't remember, what is the "50" in "215/50R17"?

50 is the percent of the hights of the tire example would be a 2154017 will be a lower profile than a 2155017 the lower the center number the lower the tire will be!

This is why I put this up.

This should help explain.
