2. How heavy?

3. How's the roads where you drive?

Only bad things about 17x7 is no SCCA sanctioned AutoX, 6.5" width is the largest you can go 02.gif

They don't look too bad. I never was into the split-rim type look. They should look pretty decent. At least you didn't buy gunmetal. Eww. (Laughs at Roller's car when it was primered with the black rims).

the center caps prolly break when they put the wheels on the balancer...

this is how we all do it... the tech will leave the center cap on the rim. put his right hand in front of it and put it on the balancer. the center post of the balancer just pops the cap out. its quick and easy, but yes it can break 'em. my stock one broke once. but oh well. got it replaced for free.
