I like what I see so far. One question though, how much do they weigh? They look heavy.

Not quite sure but there def lighter than my stock se's. I'm not looking for performance anymore really that's take a back seat for the time being, ide rather focus on the stance/wheel fitment

If you're doing a legit full exhaust, we gotta talk details. I'm looking to get a full setup come spring post motor swap.

I like it. It's different. From a distance it would definitely make me wonder where I remember those wheels from. In for more pics as everyone else.

I am running 25mm (1in) adapter kings 5x114.3 to 5x120.7 adapters and auto zone tight tolerance tuner lugs. I have a feeling not all wheels are adaptable tho due to lug nut clearance isues

Hate to bump this, but I saw the OPs sig in a different thread and sought out the original thread about it.

Those wheels look sweet. I always thought 3rd gen SE wheels would look awesome if you could blow them up and turn them into 17s or 18s. C4 wheels are darn close. Those would look AWESOME on a 3rd gen.
