Thanks all. You are all correct, about $250 plus $25 shipping for one 17" rim from a scrapper, or there is a local set of 16"'s with brand new tires that I think I can pick up for $350. I have been watching ebay for a single 17 with no luck, and have posted here and and on all the other PT boards. Heck, one guy bought a set of 3 17's from ebay and I emailed him hoping he would part with one, but no luck.
I like the look of the 17's, but the ride of the 16's. Unless something turns up in the next couple of days, I am going to head down to look at the set of 16's and if all looks good will pick them up. They are off a 2001 limited, and *might* develop a peeling problem, but here in San Francisco the winters are mild and if they show no sign of peeling yet I will cross my fingers.
I will keep the 17's for a bit and keep looking for a single, and may just swap'em out whenever I feel like it.
Mike
