1Gs are very hard to get nice rims for. The bigger they are the shittier they look IMO. 17x8s are pefect for a 1G, most five stars look good on them. I have 18x8s Konig Caffeines on my 2G and they fit the car great. But on a 1G they would look stupid.

Well I found these two pictures on other websites and they look REAL REAL nice.
The Talon looks like it's been photoshopped, but it still looks good.
The Eclipse looks similar to TKR's, but both LOOK REAL NICE.

I'm probably going to be running 17x8.5 with a pretty decent drop, the only question is, I dont know what tires would fit that? Also I don't know if it should be +25mm or +50mm? Could someone clarify a little bit?

I really like the Bridgestone Potenzas, I think they look sick and they look like they would grip like no other.

I'm also not sure what the tire dimensions should be, I want a little bit of a lower profile then most 17s, I always see like 50/55 and I think on a pretty decent drop with a smaller profile like 40-35? Is that too little?

I'm a tire/wheel n00b for sure.

Go to tirerack.com and read reviews. Some General tires got really high reviews even compared to other name brand tires and IIRC the 225/45/17s were like $70 a tire.

I would definately get some 17's on a 1g. 18's look best on a 2g, but they are just too big on a 1g. I am going to get some 17" ADR rims. They are black "mesh" style wheels with a polished lip. I saw them on tuners for sale, man they look sweet as hell.
