Motegi MR221 17's

So I'm heavily leaning towards these wheels in black. From what I could find, the 17's only weigh around 15lbs, and they're pretty inexpensive and well made. Does anyone have any experience with these wheels? Should I go with 17x7 or 17x8? I'm hoping to get a flushed, dished look with them. Any and all help would be awesome.

I'm no expert, but I feel like that offset is way too extreme for our car

Looks like they're only available 17x8(in our offset), and you'll have to custom order them, so expect to pay upwards of $250 a wheel. Other than that, I really like them.

See, this is why I ask questions before I buy stuff. Thanks for the help.

That link goes to a five lug wheel... Are you just wondering about the dimensions?

Nope. I'm just an idiot and didn't pay attention to the fact that they were 5 lug. Thank you for pointing that out.

Haha gotcha. I know team dynamics has a 17x8 wheel in our bolt pattern if you were wanting to go that size. I can't think of any other 17x8 at the moment. I've seen others on here with motegi but I think they are 17x7.

I got the mr-116's black with chrome on mine. I really like them.

I've seen those. Nice choice. My only requirements are black, either 5 spoke or mesh, and 17in to keep my tires. I suppose I could buy another color and paint or powder coat them.

After looking at the wheels thread, I'm really digging to ESM 004 wheels. They might look good in black.

That's just a sample picture. The MR221s are available in a 17x8 with our offset and bolt pattern. I did a little digging around, and the cost per wheel is closer to $500. I really like them, but they're too pricy for me.

I linked a different set. And yeah, I'm not looking to spend 2k on wheels.
