Yeah, not bad. I personally prefer a simpler rim... But those do look alright, IMO.
I must be honest though... I can't see those looking too nice with the Cuda kit you're getting.
We'll have to wait & see. smile.gif

22? OUCH. Then you add your tires, that's about 30 pounds, heavier than the OEM tire/wheel combo.
17's damage quickly also.
Since you aren't going for GO, I don't think they are so bad, but that's pretty heavy for a non chrome wheel.

everyone asks how heavy a 17 inch wheel is but if you are racing anyway you shouldn't even bother getting a 17 inch wheel. you should stick to stockies. laugh.gif but since he said he's a show car, then it doesn't even matter how heavy they are. i can't really see what they look like from the pic, but focal is a good reputable brand.

Partially true. If you are gonna race, you should get 16's or lower, but definately not the stockies. When I shipped my stock rims to OP, they weighed 68 pounds for one box with 2 rim/tires in it. That's 32/33 pounds a piece. My 16 inch Konig traffiks look great, and weigh 13 pounds each.

Have to disagree with you. I have set of 17s and they are 14lbs each, while each stock rim weighs about 18-19lbs...
Redz, actually box of two was 74 lbs or more.
Stock tire/rim combo weighs 38-39lbs with set of new tires for each. My new combo weighs 33 and 35lbs for wheels.
Redz, wtf happened to you??? Second time I see you quote a person above you! I smell ban!!!! MWAHAHAHA
