I found a nice set of gt take offs from craigslist for 200 bucks. They were taken off from the dealer for a roush conversion, so they were basically flawless. I'm not sure the exact specifications, nor the difference between 17" gt rims, and the machs, but they don't seem to rob any or much performance.



I searched craigslist to find that deal for a month. For $150 and with tires, you can't beat that. Shoot, even if don't end up putting them on, you could resell them for at least that or me.

That wheel and tire combo will probably add around 20-25 pounds over your 15's, just because of the added size to both the wheels but mainly the tires.
You should be able to sell your 15's for around $125-150, post it in the classified. People are always wanting spares and replacements.
