Thanks for the support guys :) The rims should be here thrusday, they are coming for CA to VT via Fedex ground. Now I just need tires. I was looking at the Kumho 712's on Tirerack for 56 bucks each. Anyone have a better deal????? Thanks

Sorry but one more question, does costco carry any tires this size? and also if I were to get the tires from tirerack, could costco mount them for 9 bucks each? I remember something a while back about costco potentially damaging the rim. The local shop wants 15 bucks each :/ I could have my dad do it at the toyota dealership, but again I am worried that they won't have the right equipment.

Jetta please. Civics should never have rims.

22 lbs is HEAVY even for 17"!
i like to keep it about 15-18 lbs each for 17" and 13 lbs for 15".

You gotta remember that hes going by the fedex weight, so in that 22 pounds is the packing material too. It might not be much, but its something.

On Monday I went ahead and ordered the Kumho 712's 205/40/17's from tirerack for 56 bucks each :p... everything should be in on friday, then i gotta go to the dealership my dad works at to get them mounted for 8 dollars each. My dad just got a "new" car though.. a 93 Cutlass Ciera. I might put the rims on it and drive it around for the rest of the summer. I will have to just put them on all three cars :p and see what one looks best.
