New wheels for my Phantom Blue MZ3 sedan =)

[LaraS]

So I finally pulled the trigger on a summer set of wheels and tires. I got them last Sunday but I am waiting for my hubcentric rings to get in before I mount them. I am SO excited to get them on.

18 x 7.5 Gram Light T57-RC in Bright Silver Paint
215/45-18 Pirelli PZero Nero tires

Here are a few shots of them w/ my trusty 10-20mm (gotta love the distortion)...

they look sweet!! How much the rims weigh?

 

[LaraS]

Well I think my scale is off... the wheel/tire package weighed in at 38 lbs... but it is most likely a hair over 40 lbs. As a point of reference my 17x7 MSP Racing Harts w/ the Blizzaks came in at 45 lbs... I still need to weigh the snowflakes I have on my car.

 

[Akaveli]

38lbs for the wheel/tire isn't bad at all for 18s. When I get some money I plan on buying 17" traklites which weigh about 14lbs. But since I'm broke now, all I plan on doing is running my OEM rims with light high performance tires.

I know the 2004 - 2006 17inch OEM rims weigh around 19lbs

 

[LaraS]

Very nice. =)

Yeah, I am curious to see if the snowflakes are heavier than the 04-06 rims. They look heavier... that's for sure.

very nice, those will look good.

BTW I really like that lip (thumb)

 

[LaraS]

Thank you dear. =) I really like it too. I'll be keeping it until I get something a bit less subtle.

[LaraS]

Thank you kindly. =)

I'll be sure to post some more pictures once I get them mounted on Saturday.

Very nice Lara, I'm on the other forums too and I recognized the car right away, lol.
Not my first choice in tires but they look great!

Those are probably the sexiest wheels ive seen in a long time.

Nice pick up!

The tires came on the wheels. Beggars can't be choosers. =) They are a lot nicer than what I probably would have went with if I had gotten the rims by themselves.

Thank you. =) I cannot wait to get them mounted.

I've always liked those wheels, and that finish will look great with the color of your 3.
