And then scroll down the thingy. They are a 17x8. So just as wide as a 18/19" wheel.

ok well i got the standard au forte 15"x6".. i think? someone from work was telling me it uses alot more petrol and power from the car if you have these wheels because of the width and because of that its harder to steer.. i wouldnt have a clue if thats true.. Im also looking at getting the car lowered, how much is it to get a car lowered?
