your link doesnt work, but they should fit fine. I believe they are the same size as the 2008 stock premium wheels for the A/C. You should atleast jump up to 18's thow. If those arnt the wheels you want to have for a long time. Don't get them. Save your money and get what ever wheels you love, not just like because they are your price range.

P.S. Check the faq's all the sizing info you need is in there, and welcome to nico.

I agree with Infantry1327 If you really want Z wheels I'd defiantly go 18s I dont think I'da been happy at all with 17" Z wheels but the 18s make me happy. but he's also got a point if Z's arnt what you really want just save up your cash till you can afford what you do. I guarantee you'll be way happier when you put them on. good luck!

They fit just fine on mine. Since the rears are wider and have a slightly different offset they stick out a little further than the fronts and only barely outside the wheel wells but it looks fine. I drive A LOT for work, so 18" tires just aren't an option with as many miles as I do. The only thing I'd be afraid of is trying to lower it any, nothing rubs right now, but I'd be really afraid of the rears. I honestly like the wheels just fine over the hubcaps it came with, and I think they suit the car just fine. I picked up the set with used crappy tires for $225 off craigslist.

The picture doesn't do them justice really they tend to look a little flat, but in person the curvature of the spokes toward the center looks really good.

I'll try to get some more tomorrow, I don't have any of the car with tint, or spoiler. I've only washed the car once since I bought it back in August, its dirty as can be; but it doesn't show it! I love not having a black car anymore!!!

Actually I found a few more in iphoto.. I still need to take some with the spoiler and tint though but here ya go.

This is the only one in my library that really shows how far they stick out, and it isn't much. I can take some more if you want though. The wheels themselves probably line up with the car, but I have beefy tires on the rear so that might be what sticks out. The fronts are 225/50/17 and the rears are 235/50/17. So I can't rotate, who cares. With the volume of driving I do for work, rotating doesn't help me much anyway.
