Those look cool.

By the way, what's up with your "C" and "U" keys?

Just remember that with 17" rims or larger, your ride quality will degrade considerably. Some people find the ride with 17's acceptable, I find it barely so. The handling benefit it fantastic, but also keep in mind the comfort tradeoff (it's a big one) with larger rims.

breaux124,
not to sound harsh / critical / like I'm flaming you or your taste? but I have seen those rims on an acura legend...and personally I think they are UGLY!!!! with a capital U....! perhaps it was the size of the rim that I saw (either 15s or 16s) or the brand of car the rims were on (acura...ok...my $0.02...so don't flame me here either).

Those rims with the black rivets around the rim...make them look like chocolate chip cookies...muahahah!!! again...like I said...I'm not here to criticize your taste or anything...but just sharing my $0.02..!

thanks

Tell ya what, those 18s are slowing you down. Even if they are "lightweight" the weight of the wheel is way farther on the outside of the rim which makes it harder for your motor to spin the wheels. I'd bet you'd be running 14.6@94mph on the stock 16s.

Thanks for your opinion, but this is the reason that I like these rims:

Check out the first picture and tell me what you think know.
I'm getting the body kit right after the winter. My money right now is going for a Thule rack and ski trips.
