I just got my first set of RIMS! Konig Blatant 17x8
I just got my first set of rims, ever, for a sweet price! It was just too good of a deal to pass up, or at least I sure hope so. 
Specs:
17"x8"
Silver 7 spoke
5 lug universal
ET +40
I got them from 250 , used--picked up locally. Is that a good deal? There isnt any dents, bends or anything. No scratches or curb rashes. There is however, some break dust on it.
I haven't gotten pictures of them yet, but Ill get it up by tonight when I have a chance.
Now I have some questions...
How do I pronounce the darn name?! Konig Blatant (con-nig Ba-lat-ent??)
And what should I wrap them up with? I was thinking of just swapping my stock tires on, but then its like wasting money to mount, balance and all that when Im just going to be buying new tires soon anyway. (maybe within a 6-7 month time). Is the wait worth it?
--OR--
I can just buy new tires. I have no idea what to put on them. Will 225/40/17 work? Do you guys have any tires to recommend to me?
--Thanks!
I'm just really excited!
PS: how do you guys think this will look on a SW tC at stock height (for now)?

^ Right. Blatant is an English word, so if you don't know how to say it then you should probably just go back to school (no offense 
). Konig is pretty self-explanatory too. It's actually König, if you want to be European about it. But for our purposes, it's coh-nig.

No kidding. Public schools, I assume. Oh yeah, let's add a random emoticon so nobody gets their feelings hurt:
