(SRT) New Wheels.... Opinion

Just looking to see what everyone thinks of these wheels for my neon.... These are $160 each which is the most Im spending on any wheels they are 17" and weigh 21 pounds each...

[IMG][/IMG]

How do you think they would look? Or is there another wheel out there for the same price, color, and size range ud suggest

Thanks! Bryan

They look very similar to the 16" BBS's on the ACR's. I like them. 21lbs per wheel is a little heavy IMO. They look like 2 pieces that must be why.

I say only get them in 19-20in for size.

1. That wheel isnt going to look to good in 17's, having a lip on a wheel makes the wheel kinda appear smaller than it really is so id say get a bigger size.
2. You must be going just for looks becuase 21 pounds for a 17in wheel isnt light weight.
3. This is all just my view on things and you should really just go with what you think will look/work best for you.

hm, thanks for your help and opinions everyone... Now I dont know a lot about wheels... but yea I do wanna have a set of wheels that looks good but at the same time weigh no more than the stock 17" wheels on the SRT4.. I have been trying to do searches on there forums and on google but havent been able to fidn the weight on the wheels.

Ill try and find one with less of a lip since I wouldnt want to make it look smalelr than stock, and also I prolly wouldnt go any bigger so they wouldnt weigh more than stock and wont be so costly also

Try http://www.enkei.com,
They have some great wheels

RPF1
17 x 7.5 size
5x100 bolt pattern
15.2 lbs

(These wheels are made for racing and will look good at the same time, plus these wheels would save you 23lbs vs the other ones you have been looking at.)
