I know I made the poll on the Gunmetal wheels, and everyone seemed to love them, but the gunmetal clashed with the pearl black very badly in real life.

So I made up my mind, and I know a few of you wont be happy, but if that was my goal I wouldnt have the Vielside. I think these wheels keep the clean lined, tasteful, racing image that tiburons have always had. They retail for around 1300-1500+ with tires at any shop or even at wheelsnext.com I picked these up for 475 and a drive to DC from North Carolina.

And here they are
17" Konig Prophets...Chrome...22lbs..not much heavyer than the gunmetal
Tires-Ventus 215/45/17....no rub..and as you can see hardly any fender gap





Hope you guys like

i like them. 22 lbs isn't THAT bad, but I still wouldn't do it.

Dude , your ride is hot,the wheels are cool, sometimes i think chrome wheels can be a bit to bling bling for some cars, but your ride sits nice on those puppys.

Suprisingly the chrome goes well with the black. 22 lbs. isn't that bad either. Good Choice fing02.gif
