those rims are for show only man look at how little meat there is around the lugs
not to mention how dog slow they will make ur car


any hard driving on those and I'd be worried about cracks(when you get em check the hub areas real good)

Alot of neons run those kinds of wheels. I will search around for you to see if these will fit or what. But I have seen alot of 2nd gen neons even some srt4s with wheels like these and the same wheels. I actually would go with the konigs I love all konig wheels. So what ones are you looking at. Most konigs will fit on neons. Never heard of 17inch wheels being show wheels seeing thats what most run these days anywhere and for shows they run bigger size wheels like 18s and 19s.

"show wheel" has nothing to do with the diameter
what I mean by show wheel is they look good but are they safe to race around on??
dont expect any performance from these other than a weight savings.

I dont give a hoot what foreign company puts their name on em if they look wimpy and too light duty they will be exactly that.
And what kind of generic crap is that having 2 different bolt centers on the same wheel??
the more holes they drill around the hub the WEAKER they are

when you plow into someone will your insurance adjuster overlook that you have a tire and wheel combo thats not designed for your car?
not even close to the sticker which says what size is to be used on your car?

I hope you people understand what big wheels do to your acceleration and braking?
not to mention those ultra low profile tries you will need to use to fit under the srtrut perches
first pothole BAM!! bent wheel

Most of us on here on not much into performance anyways just everyday driving and some shows. Alot of neons run with wheels like these that are everyday driving and slight shows . Who actually drag races there neons other than srt4s anyways. I was planning on getting some 18s but got me some acr 16inch bbs wheels instead.

hemi4spd does bring up some valid reasons which you should oblige yourself to be receptive to. They dont look very meaty also put the extra $$ towards a code scanner and basic maintenance. These cars are a joke and I just got one in August. Makes me think about buying brand new and leasing for 24 months at a time.

Go with the runways konig makes about the best wheels for neons and they look way better than these wheels . I hated my stock wheels also so thats why I went with some very nice wheels also. My 04 sxt is a daily driver plus mild show car. Soon to be turboed also . Neons are not a joke and they are very fun to mod but most arent into modding at all.
