heads up code, wheel max rims are cheap. i would stick to dragonwheels. all four of my best friend's rims bent like a can. plus they have good wheels like BSA and ADR for better prices.
i've bashed my dragon 17's for half a year now and no signs of any cracks or bends. i even tailwhipped into a curb going 20mph. no disfigurations of any kind with the exception of a scrape. been through gigantic potholes, bumps...nothing.

Alright
I was surfing dragonwheels.com for a wheel/tire combo, found a set I liked, but I am confused on whether or not they will fit. In the description, it gives a bolt pattern of 5X100, but there are 8 lug holes. To me, that would signal that there is are multiple bolt patterns. So I will put it to all of you, will these rims work?

*Edit*
The link does not want to work for some reason, so here are the specs from the page:
Product Code: DW60517E4SI
Weight: 21.00
Unit of Measure: EACH
Size: 17
Brand: DW
Model: 605
Category: DW 17"
BOLT PATTERN: 5X100
OFFSET: +40

Since Blacktibs' rims are in limbo and are slipping out of my hands, I am still looking for a 16" or 17" wheel/tire combination for my '98 for about $400. Preferrably tires with decent tread life left on them. PM if you can help me out.

No, 5X100 won't work. There are 8 holes for the reason that if one lug set won't fit the other will. it does look kind kruddy... but it's justs standard.
don't get 40 offset. for our cars, offset is between 42-45.
dragonwheels is having a clearance sale. $500 4 rims w/ 4 tires. what's another $100 which will buy you a new set.
also... our lugs are 4X100.4 i think. you might want to check our lug pattern. but i'm sure that if you tell them the pattern, and you are ordered to give the make model year, the rims will be made to fit your car. that's what dragon did with mine. fit perfectly.
Checkout the BSA's on the clearance sale.

I'm pretty sure HKC meant to say that our PCD is 4 x 114.3 wink1.gif

I searched up and down on that site for $500 wheels and tires that would fit my car, and I could not find anything. Any chance you guys could take a look and pass on some wheel/tire combos?

LOL thanks guys for clarifying that up. yes! it's 4x114.3. there goes my memory from working all valentine's day in a restaurant along with my SAT score. hahahah... you would think i'm good with money all these years.
okay, if i found it you can too although if you give them a call toll free they will surely help you out as they did me. they helped me quickly and effectively. loved their service. i annoyed the heck out of 'em too :b

Ok
I have found a wheel/tire combo I am going to buy. My last question about this is in regards to hub centric rings. I am going to buy a set, but am unsure of the proper sizing. I have found a set for tiburons on Ebay, but it does not say what year. Are ALL tibs the same? Attached the link, lemme know if these will work out for me.
