Finally, new rims (pics inside)
Hey guys, I just got new rims like a week ago, but I just barely got a digital camera to take the pictures with 
So here they are, 17x7 Motegi Track_Lites 15lb per rim + the weight of the tire.
they were 280 a piece for the rims, not sure how much the tires cost me, but the whole deal was about 1500 including labor. I got daddy's good buddy special discount at tucker tire. yay

dude, your license plate has the last same 3 letters as mine... and we're both in AZ. We're also both pearl whites, and soon to be both on eibachs... TRIPPY!
BTW nice rims, sometimes i wonder what lighter rims would feel like for performance.

well I can tell you that I didn't feel much of a difference, except that my friend (99 se) kicked my *** with his new full exhaust 
On the bright side, I didn't feel any loss in performance either, and these tires grip the ground like no other

I have read some guys rag on Motegi rims, but I really like those. If I wouldn't have found mine, I would likely have those or something similar. Excellent choice, IMO.
I have 13.5 lb Centerline RPMs (17x7) and I can definitely tell the difference in acceleration and handling with them on vs. stock. The handling of mine seems a little more "darty" and at first it was a little strange. I also weighed mine and each is about 8 lbs lighter than the stock wheel/tire combo.

i like that tread pattern on your tires, very aggressive!
as for performance, you should have better off the block times, because your rims are lighter....with that whole unsprung weight thing.
the ufo and big rig give character to this thread.
i guess the last thing i have to say is......why the helll you wanna move to the northwest? u must like the cold.

actually what i meant was, I'm moving northwest in arizona. I love this state, I wouldn't leave unless there was big oppurtunity elsewhere!

thats the original pinstripe 
I'll have my car repainted pearl white and the pinstripes will be removed, as much as i like the classic look of stock.... I've had enough. My windows are getting tinted on thursday or friday too. As for the track, maybe just to see my 1/4 mile times, but not real racing. I'm going to get a mustang to beat the **** out of, because my maxima is too precious to beat on it that hard. Trust me though, I would kill to take this thing to a track and beat the **** out of it all day.... but I'd probably blow something up. Mustangs are good for that kinda thing

Portland and Seattle usually get less than 5 days a year with any measurable snowfall or ice. I know that in Ohio, you get far more than 5 days of snow a year. I don't know exactly what you mean by cold, but it's not up here in the moderate Northwest.
The only places in Oregon that it's really cold are up in the Cascade, Blue, Siskiyou, Steens or Wallowa mountains. Washington is pretty much the same. Desert in the east and mild in the west, with the only cold weather being up in the mountains.
Not that I want any of you dopes to move up here, but I want to make sure you know what it's like. Right now it's about 70 degrees with no clouds and about a 5-10 mph wind.
for the NW

I work outside all day, so I kind of need to know what the weather is like.

yeah, that rear plate is definately a bother, my uncle the previous owner, I guess he broke the screw off on accident because of rust. So a new hole was drilled. I need to drill out the original hole and mount it properly. Until then, I'll just have to go ghetto style.
On a second note, all of what was recommended, the clear corners, springs, and probably some others too I already have on my things to do list. Just got my new bushings today, and my dad is doing my tint tomorrow or friday. Anywho thanks for all the opinions. It helps
