They're nice wheels but not all that. As long as your happy with them.

The car does look stock, but clean! Enjoy!

They are heavy, that does suck, they weighed in at 55lbs front and 58lb rear with tires IIRC.

I'm a sucker for five stars, these have been on my dream list of wheels for some time. But I'm not one to buy wheels others typically like. Most hated my old Volk GT-F's but I loved them and my Miro's where one of a kind on an RX-8 and I am sad to see them go. I just don't like wheels that everyone else has, even if they are wheels I think look sexy.

But wheels are like shoes, everyone has far different tastes.

That's not that bad. Aren't stock rims about 25lbs and a 245/35/18 will run you another 25 too. So not to much over stock. But any small rotational mass turns into a hell of a lot in static weight

Yeah it's not too bad for the street. Eventually when I finish off some suspension changes I will be getting a track wheel/tire setup that will be much lighter.

lol Really?


Anyway. Glad my pics came out ok. The set up in its current form looks out of this world. You guys should see it rolling. Also being in the boost curve under full load... all i can say is wow. Its a fun car for sure. I cant wait till the day i can shoot a full smoky burnout.

im not hating, just my opinion .it doesnt matter what you think, my car will win any car show over your easily even with my ripoff wheels.I wonder how many laps it will take to blow that little turbo you got at the nurburgring or wreck your car on the fence. I dont like to talk about my finances but i know i got you cover, lol. BAM

Yeah staggered was not my preferred choice but this deal was just to good to pass up. I will be getting them rebuilt to a square setup eventually. I sold my old GT-F's without realizing I could have just gotten them rebuilt and refinished. With these I can do a few things when I want too and it will still cost a lot less than new wheels.

I'm sure 9k knows this but realistically, adding a few lbs/corner won't make any discernible difference in regular driving (or even non-competitive performance driving). Tire compound/driver/etc. will make a far more noticeable change.

Nice and clean, don't raise it up! If anything, lower the rear just a tad to match the front. Grind/shave away for clearance. Nice wheel choice

i was jk about the wax bro! That is one clean clean ride my man. You are welcome to Ga anytime.
I like those wheels--classic quality look on kind of a "sleeper" car.
The weight will not really cause very much performance change at all.

Yeah I haven't noticed any loss in terms of performance. Lower it more?! You are a mad man!

are the wheels polished or chrome? (hard to tell from my computer monitor).

Love the wheel design.
