ordered new rims

Well since i am tired of cutting down my tires in the back cause i was sold rims that had the wrong offset i have decided to buy new ones. I am getting the Konig Hotswap rims with the red inserts. So what do u guys think of these rims but with the red inserts on my car.

I like them. I think they look really good, but just beware that they weigh an absolute ton!

I believe the weight on them is something around 56lbs for the 17" BEFORE Tires.

Nice wheels tho

there aren't any because of the weight. you can get wheels that look just as nice if not better that weight SIGNIFICANTLY less. the SS/SC's dont usually wanna slow themselves down with a rim that weighs as much as 2 rims should

well as soon as i get them and mounted i'll post up some pics, but the red inserts are on back order which sucks. Cause i wanted them for my car show in two weeks. But 56lbs seems to alot. Actually for two rims is 62 lbs so each rim is like 30lbs. Cause i just looked at my order. So that is not to bad.
