yes i do relize it's 650 per wheel because it clearly says wheels sold indivually and where the hell are u gettin 400 for equips unless your thinkin of work equip 01's or 02's
p.s would it look funny with 17's in front and 18's out back

ok for example. 17x7 +35 4-114.3
17=rim size in height
7=rim width
35=offset(ill explain downward)
4=number of lugs
114.3=space between the lugs(higher the further apart, our cars are 114.3)
ok this is the easiest way for me to explain offset. If you have an 8in wide wheel, then 4in is going to be dead center of the wheel correct? ok, so the offset can be (-) or (+), if it is positive then whatever that number is is how many mm the wheel is out from center(the face of the wheel is closer to the outside of car). Therefore the higher the offset the less they will stick out(more of the wheel will be tucked underneath the fender, the less lip, the less concave, the less performance, and the gayer lol. you want as low as possible with whatever size wheel you choose. So for a s13, if you bought 17x7 you would want like a 0 to a -10 offset, but if wanted to put 17x9's then you would want like a +10 offset. make any sense? maybe not so look at this.
heres a pic of my car with stock 15x7 with 40ish offset, notice how inward the wheels are and no lip or concave to the face of the wheel.
now heres a pic of a car with 15x7, but with a lower offset, notice that the wheel is not inward as far, which looks much better.
Once you get real hardcore then you get real wide sizes with really low offsets and you get lip and width like these on the rears.
I hope all this helps..
