SO I am looking to buy some wheels and tires and I started to do some research. My tires currently are P225/50R16.. Now, I know that 50's wont fit on 17's underneath those wheel wells, so I would have to go down. Basically I want to know your opinion on what I should get. I know I will get 17's, not sure what brand or anything, but they have to look nice on my black celi. The roads over here are rough, so I can't go too low profile tires either. Any suggestions on wheels and tire sizes, brands ect?

For a 7 x 17" rim, I would go 215/45/17 in your circumstances. If you want performance allseasons, I suggest the Pirelli P Zero Nero M & S, Continental ContiExtreme Contact, Khumo Ecsta ASX or, if you want a great tire at a great price, the Avon Tech M550 A/S. My first choice would be the Pirelli's. My second the Conti's and my third the Avon's.
