I am lookin for some new wheels for my car.

What are you asking? Those are SportMax's...if you want something of higher quality, Racing Hart has some great lookin gold 5spokes, can't think of the model of the top of my head...

The GramLight 57Pro's are pretty hot too.

I meant out of these...
17x7 205/40HR17 NANKANG NS-I$699 17x7 215/45HR17 NANKANG NS-I$739 17x7 235/45HR17 NANKANG NS-I$765
I wasnt sure what the 205,215, and 235 meant.

205, 225, and 235 are the width of the tires, from sidewall to sidewall, in MM (millimeters)

Example: 215/40R17

215 width
40 aspect ratio (sidewall height)
17 inches rims

Oh, you mean tires?

And for calculation purposes...25.4mm in an inch.

alot of misconception, changing the width of tires DO NOT increase grips.
When going wider tires, it change the contact patch pattern from long shape to wider shape. The area of contact patches remain the same, if the tires, air pressure, load, material, etc unchange.
Since the shape of contact patch change, it affect the forward and lateral grips.

Paintballer91 : What's your current tires spec ?
You want outer tires diameter remain unchange so you speedometer remain accurate, and others.

And when pick up a rims, always choose the lightest (but more expensive) to keep the unsprung weight low for better performance.

Yeah those sport max he posted are like 32lbs each. :screwy: haha. Spend more money and get better wheels. Ive had my share of cheap wheels and they are cheap for a reason.
