Look a lil big for my taste, 17's most of the time at least to my eye don't look good on Tibs. I don't really like the rubber bands for tires look that imports seem to do a lot.

You can always take the stockers to a recycling place, I'm sure they'll buy them for the material.

^^Good idea Still have alot of rubber on 2 wheels... I'll probly just burn out until I run out of rubber and they are steel on concrete for the front 2.

Keep the best tire and wheel as a full size spare. Then just trash the bent rim and part out the other two.
The stockers won't fit in the spare well right.

They should do... all the Coupes over here come with 5 alloys as standard... meaning your stock 15" rims should fit fine. Have you tried putting it in face down?

agree, but i still think yours look hot. mine are almost like yours but weigh 17lbs each. you can get rid of some of that weight but getting a fiberglass or CF hood to a noticeable difference. i like yours better than the rotas.

^ Yeah but with larger diameter wheels, the weight is further away from the hub so the wheel is harder to turn... It slows the car down a bit.

I don't notice much...mine are 17s... If I ever get new rims though, they WILL be 16's or 15's.... I hate worrying about bending the 17s all the time....
