nice. i like the color of the rim with the color of your car. they both compliment eachother very nicely. how much do they weight ? now paint those calipers and its a wrap.

Im all about the sleeper too. I actually ran stocks up until now but my tires were balled and i needed wheel spacers to clear my new nx brakes so i figured just get some lightweight rims and tires already. It makes me nervous, people eye up my car a lot more than they used to.

Awesome wheels. If I didn't already have my Rota C8's I would've bought those instead. :biggthump

do you have any suspension work done? i am leaning towards a 16" wheel. although those do look sexy on our rides!

yeah, i actually have quite a bit of work done, this is just my first "cosmetic" mod. I have D2 coilovers, which are surprisingly good. Im also building a second setup with hyperco springs and kyb/agx. I have the NX brakes, ES bushings, ST rear bar, VE motor, HS gen3 header, Greddy SP exhaust, short shifter. I just needed to step up to a better wheel/tire combo and the stockers left me with only azenis as a cheap option. I believe this wheel comes in a 14x6 (8.8lbs) and a 17x7 (14.xlbs) also. I dont think they make a 16 though.
