Personally I would buy them for how light they are. They really aren't that great looking. But I did recommend them to my boyfriend for his Z.:)

With puny brakes behind them it won't look that great. You need something to fill the void of all that space man. Other than that I don't think they look terribly that bad.

I think we're all use to that 5-spoke wheel and now 6-spoke. Might not work for all but some may like.

My $.02

Well the weight is great but I would have to wander if those things are subject to bending or breaking easily due to there design.

Now if they were black... Anyhow you really should think about more options when posting a poll:D

This is just a "yes or no" poll... I'll have more 'polls' w/ more options in the future!!! :D

In 15s, they're 140 or so. In 17s, they're 240.

I like them also. I've never really been a fan of 4 spoke wheels. But there is something about these that catches the attention.

I happen to like the look of 4-spoke wheels, myself. IIRC, I've read on another site that these are lightweight cast wheels, and these are getting down in the weight range where maybe forged is the only way to go. YMMV, of course.

The comment about brakes is valid. Might look nice as a 15, but as a 17 too much "air" in view.

PS: As much as I'd hate to admit it, these would have an interesting look backed up with a gigantic set of not-on-my-car-you-don't aluminum fako drilled rotors.:eek:

The low weight certainly is a benefit, but I just don't like the 4 spoke look. I'd have to pass. For the same or less $$$, you can get some K1s that weigh ~1-2 lbs more in 15" size and look tons better IMO.

I had looked at these wheels before, you could probably do a search... but, I really liked them and in SCC they weighed in at 15.5 lbs, which is pretty good. I would get them, but I'm looking into some 18's... I voted yes... get them.

edit: here's a pic i did before of them in gunmetal on my car:

Might as well be known in two forums for my wheel opinion...

Centerline RPM's. 13.5lbs in 17", forged, 'nuff said.

6-spoke design, check this out:

I am also used to the 5 spoke design. It is still looks good too.
