So, I have the stock 17's and Im looking to get some new rims this year or next. Now, I bought the car last year it and it came with more or less brand new Sumitomo HTRz's.

Now, I came across these on Kijiji http://ottawa.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-auto-parts-tires-tires-rims-17-rims-great-condition-W0QQAdIdZ291796592 and I've always like those rims.

Now, would you upgrade 17's (Id keep them for my winters) or just wait till it was time for new times and get 18's?

Personally I would sell your 17" GT stockers with the tires as a set, then buy new rims with new tires.

Separating tires and rims is a pain and a waste of money.

I upgraded my 17s GT Rims just bcuz i wanna go 18's...i sold my 17's to a member here bcuz instead of using my 17's for winter...im going steelies...

It really depends if you wanna upgrade them...those 17's GT rims are already nice if you do a project on them..lets say powdercoat..and if you wanna stay on getting cheaper tires too..

If you go 18's then tires are alot more expensive...but its really up to your liking of the looks of your car :)

Would get 16s for winters and sell your GT rims as a set.

Depends on if your planning on keeping/ selling the car worried about resale though...your car will be easier(quicker) to sell with the GT rims even though u might get more money with the upgrade.
