Finally got my 16x7 Motegi MR7 gunmetals mounted on the red P5...IMO, they look hot. Tell me what you think.

damn, you're right...sorry, I'll try this again.

why 16's???? i think it would look better with 17's, but none the less it still looks good.

 

[REMillers]

Looks good, glad to see the car is back together.

Think he got 16's cause that was what he could afford from the money left after the accident.

 

[Dexter]

looks cool

 

[MP5Raycer]

damn i got those exact wheels in 18's and yours lok as big as mine lol

 

[REMillers]

sidewall diferences.
What tire size you running on those 18's? Think he stayed with stock rubber.

 

[ZiO]

I think the 16's look good... plus not as rough as a ride in bigger sizes. Good job.... makes the car look tight.

thanks ya'll, I am proud of my baby, as stock as she is....

...the real reasons that I went with 16's is because the MR7 is a heavy wheel in a 16, but even heavier in 17 inches. 24 lbs., to be exact. And as we all know, the P5 handles exceptionally, and 96 extra pounds would destroy my handling. In size 16, they only weigh about 19 lbs., which ain't as bad.

Also, I was alotted about 400 bucks by the insurance company to help pay for new wheels, so I had to work with what I was given. I just so happened to run by NTB one day, and see these MR7's that I really wanted. The guy said he would give them to me for $440, so I jumped on it, and now I got Motegi's.

Yeah man, I have to say that 16" wheels look really nice on the P5... sure, larger are cool too, but I just like the look of 16s. Especially when the car is lowered. Nice car man, looks super sharp.

 

[REMillers]

btw you need to update your sig

 

[jophus14]

damn good price

you only paid 440 for both wheels and tires? thats a real good price. i was gonna get them when i had my neon. how do you like them?

 

[Bijou-MP5]

i want one... i think pepboys sells each rim for $125 or something...
so you got yourself really good deal man.

DO NOT DEAL WITH PEP BOYS. THEY ARE AWEFUL. I tried to deal with them, and the people there told me that "it would be stupid to waste these good wheels on such a worthless car." Even if you are joking, you don't say something like that. IMO, complete assholes.

The tires on them are not new, but the same ol' stock tires the car came with. It's about time I get some new ones though. The best part of the whole thing is that NTB had the wheels, by chance, in stock at THAT store when I requested them. The dude there said some guy had ordered them for a Jetta but changed his mind, so he offered them to me for $110 a wheel. Great guy. I will most definitly be doing business with them again.

Anyway, thanks for the comments, I am proud of her looks...and I hope I can keep improving. Feel free to throw any ideas or comments my way.

[ilbumy]

Your car looks GREAT! Black wheels with the red look very badass

btw how much do stock wheels weigh?

 

[Esteban Toledo]

Your wheels are sweet! When I replace mine, I'm going w/ 16s.
