if you're looking for nice rims for good price, hard to beat www.tirerack.com check out the prices in yellow..they're specials.

i say, first you drop your car if you havent already...lookn hott w/ the ninja kit but the wheel well gonna look even bigger w/out a drop
tantrums are ok, never really been a fan of more than 6 spokes...juss my opinion...

Tantrums, MR7s, whatever. They're all knockoffs of Volk Racing SS7s.

volk wheels

Yes, the volk wheels are way better looking!

It's too bad the OZ superturismo wheel doesn't fit. The OZ rally type wheels are pretty light. These used to not be very expnsive until all of the damn WRC cars starting wearing them. But what's the diff of a couple pounds of unsprung weight going to make on our street cruisers???? If we drive them like a small light car, we'd be buying new rubber ever two months!
