Let's see...

16 Inch? CHECK!

Weight? 20 LBS each ship weight. Should be about 17 or less each. NICE!

Chrome? No. HELL YEAH!



THey'd look nice man, good choice.

That is my kind of wheel. They'll look really good on the tib. I'm sure of it.

Just so you know the ones in that auction don't fit. They are a 5 bolt pattern. We are 4 on 114.3, so as long as you don't buy those exact ones then you'll be okay. Just a lil FYI.

They look good man...only thing id worry about is thier weight. I think for a 16" rim you could get lighter. But they look very nice man, good pick.

thanks, i read a lot about everyones opinions on the sizes so i decided to look for some 16s to keep the weight down and maintain handling. ive emailed the guy a few times and he does have to correct bolt pattern so i think im good to go. glad everyone agrees with me cool.gif

Yeah, they COULD be lighter, mine are 13 pounds each, but are also catagorized as Very Light. Yours are below average weight, so that's definately good. 16's will give you a great ride, I suggest 205/55/16's or maybe 50's. Then when you drop the car a bit, they fill the wheel well nicely.

don't think you can beat the price... but i'd do some research before going out and getting rims.

good pick though, but my advice would be to photochop a lot and spend some time with it. rims are big investment. you don't want to be caught up finding a nicer rim you like after you have already purchased these.
