Well, I've been waiting for over a month but I finally have my rims!
I am the only one in Canada with these rims!
(the company even said none have been shipped to Canada!)
Specs:
17x7
Bronze
+40 offset
4/114.3 & 4/100
15.5 lbs
Forged
Tires:
Hankook Ventus HRII 405
205/40/17
It was a total custom installation, the guy bored out the 4/100 pattern to allow the CAPTIVE bolts to sit in the hole to allow the rim to be flush with the rotor.
Also the caps on the rims were'nt allowing the hub to clear, so they put on some chrome caps from another wheel (cant remember which one at the moment) and it looks killer along with the chrome tuner lugs.
I have 4 lock nuts on each wheel :twisted:
Green and bronze is so beautifull 8)
they did a great job!
*Update*
I just washed my car, so i am going to post more pics, as well as before and after pics of my suspension upgrade.
Stay TUNED!!
the better pics will be posted in "Showroom" very soon, just am waiting for a sunny day is all.

those are hot rims man...i honestly would have gone with 16" wheels though...
and i think i have come to the conclusion that i will be painting the 03 elantra wheels i get a semi-gloss or gloss black. it's easy and less mess up, plus i kidna want the car to have that "dark" look too it, the bronze would brigthen my car up too much.

Yeah, These puppies are'nt cheap.
All said and done it cost me close to $2,400
I had to pay and extra $30 a wheel so they could fly them in from Florida
they are forged, and very high quality.
money was no issue when it came to getting these wheels.
the hankook 405 tires are extremely good in wet situations as well.
very grippy!
