looks good man. Its good to see some people finally giving up their stock wheels. It was hard for me to, b/c both the 2.4SS and the 2.0SS/SC stock wheels are def some of the nicest looking stock wheels i've ever seen on a car, but I couldn't resist. Aftermarket wheels set our cars apart and give them character. http://www.enkei.com/jpeg%20files/Wheels/wdmbg.jpg <-------those are the wheels I ordered, in 18x7.5. $1,100 shipped. I love curve spoked, as I had looked at the Motegi DV5s originally, but too many sport compacts already have the DV5s, and I liked the Enkei's b/c they were new for '07, so I wont see tons of other cars rocking the same wheels I have.

There is no way those wheels weight 17lbs a piece. Impossible. Bro, the Centerlines weight 17lbs a piece for the 18s. Those cheap rims will not weight that. I would you to prove me wrong though

Bro, if they do, then thats wonderful, I might even switch mines for those, since mines are 20 lbs a piece. It just seems incredible that those rims weight that, when Rotas which are like 17"s and 16lbs each cost aobut 650 and centerlines cost about 330 a piece for the 18" ones. Im sure a lot more people would have those rims if they were in fact 17lbs. Congrats tho, they do look great. So enjoy them!

they actually weigh 17.4 lbs for the 18's. not bad for a cheap brand. just hope they didn't go cheap on durability over weight savings. they do look nice though. and please don't even get me started on rotas.
