Ok, finally got them. I got my 17's and my Hankook 405s (225/50/17). I'll post pics soon.
Question - now when i get my car up to about 100km/h or so it shakes. I thought it was the balance of the wheels but the guy at the store said that it's just what happens when you put a wider and aftermarket wheel on.
I think he's full of $hi+. I think the wheels are misbalanced. Does anyone have any insight to this problem?
If he can't balance them properly does anyone have any recommendations to a certain chain to have them balanced correctly? I don't want to have to pay extra but if this guy doesn't know what he's doing I'm going to pay the $40 and have them balanced through a reputable place.

My stock wheels that I had on 20 minutes earlier I can take up to 100MPG (160km/h) no problem without a shake. My brakes and rotors are fine - it's the wheels without a doubt.
I'm in Canada so we don't have those stores but there are more reputable places. I'm going to take them back to him.
