Sorry, but anything with a Tenzo badge on it is crap. Just say no.

As for 17s personally I think they look a little too big for the car unless it has a body kit and the tires you have to run to keep the stock tire diameter look too skinny. Plus they make your brakes look small. If you want something bigger than stock I would look at a 16" rim rather than 17", with a 215/40-16 tire.

Including the cost of tires you probably wouldn't be able to quite swing something from one of the top brands like SSR or Volk but you could get something pretty nice. Here are some choices I would look at. All are 16" and reasonably light weight.

O.Z. Superleggera - $239 @ tirerack.com


Enkei MM2 - $162 @ discounttiredirect.com


Konig Driver - $101 @ discounttiredirect.com


For tires I would go with Pirelli PZero Nero 215/40-16 for $93 a piece from tirerack.com.
