Nice wheels. They look pretty good. I'm shooting for a 15lb 17X8.

 

[strytnyne]

[PCspeed3]

Mucho Gusto!

 

[iredremix]

[trdsw]

Did you get a chance to drive around the block to resettle the suspension the wheel gap looks unreal. BTW they look great FYI I recently read a thread talking about the center caps being the same color as the rim underneath the rota logo

lol kinda doubt it, or at least ive never heard of that haha

looks good. i dont think people can go wrong with just about any aftermarket wheel. the stock 10 spoke is standard on a zillion other manf. ssooooooooooo played out!!!

Those look like the stock tires on there, right strytnyne? How's the ride quality in terms of impact harshness and torque steer?

Did you sell your stockers yet?

 

[bacarl]

Oh and I don't think the wheel gap looks bad. Just exaggerated due to the camera flash getting up in there

 

[CWPspeed3]

Those wheels do look sweet, once those stock tires wear out a nice 225/40 would look even better on there.

 

[mazdaspeedster3]

That dishing is scary though, there is no rim protection with those tires on there. Look nice though! Love to see those on the move.

 

[bacarl]

So how's the ride quality, strytnyne? When I put on my 18x8's I got bad torque steer and tramlining, and the ride went to hell. I'm trying to figure out if it's more my wheels, more my tires, or a combination of both. I'm curious how your wheels ride with stock tires. They're 18x8+48mm right?

 

[strytnyne]

yes.. it rides better actually, might just be losing the unsprung weight the steering has lightened up alot and its sharp and responsive

 

[spenone]

Funny i catch this on here...im planing on buying the same wheels also

 

[07speed3]

what wheels are those?
