Need pics of 18's and 17's Mille Miglia evo style on a lowered max

Just purchased some d2's and i currently Have really Heavy 18's. possible a 40-50 lb combo with tires, each. So i'm looking at 17's now, after reading the benefits in ride comfort and performance. I need pics of the mille miglia style in 17's on a max. preferably with a 225/45/17 or any width. Thanks in Advance

dude...the MM Evo5's are heavy as hell (about 25lbs)...in 17" they will be close to 45-50lbs with tires also.

Crap, i know the Fake evo's are 21lb's.

is getting a 17'' that much better than an 18'' (performance wise)

i like the look of my 18's, and the look of 17's isn't that bad.

epacy has some 18s mounted on a 5.5 gen. I don't think you'd be gaining much by switching to 17" in those. If you're going for lighter weight you'll need to get some SSRs or Volks or OZs or BBS, the higher dollar wheels.

Yeah they are heavy, my wheel/tire combo weighs roughly 47-48 lbs. I never would have gotten them if I didn't get it for 300bucks...

that's a bit of a falsehood. My 5zigen autocross wheels are 17x8 and weigh in at about 17lbs. Not "the" lightest out there but pretty light for that size (compared to our stock 17x7 that are around 25lbs). Other affordable options about the same weight include Enkei RPO2's and the Falken Hanabi.

The fno1r-c's can be found for under $200/each.
