They're 17x7.5s TSW rims, Skimax said they were AVS knockoffs.. i dunno..

they weigh 41 pounds with tires... which, is decent, considering my 17x8 Revos are 48 with tires..

now all i need are R compound tires...

Toyos, which are about $175-190 ea should work nicely on the 17x7.5s
Alternatively, if I don't plan on doing events in the rain, the Kumhos are arguably the best dry track tire. I'd have to go with 225's however, which would work well on the 7.5s. The Kumhos sizes are a bit underestimated... Their 225s really look closer to 235s... or so i've been told..

woo hoo!

now. where's those damn sprint springs.

the original yok avs, they came out like 5-6 years ago. big for supra owners. when i was 15, i dreamed getting these rims even before getting my car. but when i did get my car i couldn't afford them, 17's were like 3k back then.
