I don't know what quality they are, but I do think those wheels are attractive.

Thumbs up

I likey! For the money I might have to go after those in Gunmetal for my black FD. I really want a set of wheels that cost $1300 for the set, but for less than half that, I could do a 17X8 front and 18x9 rear. That would make it more feasable for the pregnant wife =)


BTW, You say you can get the wheels at cost??

I like them. Alot of drift cars do it (watch the ADVAN drift video and check out the wheel size) so i don't see a reason not too. I've *heard* that a larger rear wheel gives you a higher top end because of the larger rotational mass (don't take this too seriously, this is just what i've been told). Get them and post pics . . . i might get a set of the GM ones
