Wasn't trying to criticize your choice btw. I debated on getting a set. It was just a bit heavier than I wanted. Car looks bad ass though.
+1!

Those, and the 17" OZed Superturismo LMs are (to me at least) the best looking wheels on these cars, but then I get beat down for saying that due to their weight. [bash]

Not sure how I feel about the new wheels?!? Ugh
I think I'm going to put these up for sale and go with OZ's or go back to stock. I don't like the way that these have no curvature?!?

I will say my limited driving on 205/45-17's Cooper Zeons is pretty nice. Seems to smooth the car out?!?

Back to the drawing board!

^^^I know that some on here hate the "played out" look of black wheels, but for me, they look especially GREAT on a silver car.

The black, 17x7.5, Superturismo LMs would look phenomenal on that car, even more so IF you ignore the maniacally wheel weight conscious on here! [thumb]

IF you demand some concave curvature to your wheels, I would check to see if Forgestar makes anything for our bolt patterns/offsets (but I doubt this:( ), since they are known for that feature.

I honestly don't know what I'm going to do yet?!? I had black AEV wheels on my white Jeep and I always wished I would have bought silver?!? I don't really think concave is what I want...more like something that bows outward. There is a picture somewhere of a performance blue FiST that has a Japanese silver BBS style wheel with blue lug nuts that has the effect I like. I think they are WEDS wheels?!?

The old, original, TD Pro Races had a definite convex outward 'bow' to them, but they are long long gone, and probably never made in our bolt patterns anyway. :(

The TEC AS2's are interesting?!? I found a site in the UK that ships them to US. don't know why but I thought that light blue was kind of bitchin?!?

Depending on the shipping costs, they are less than TR's prices on the Superturismo LMs in 17x7.5. :)

Personally I think car looks good. Just needs some lowering. But it's your car. Why did you buy them if you weren't sold on them?

I obsessed forever before I pulled the trigger and thought those were the best option for a BBS look wheel. Problem is that they are such a new wheel there aren't many pictures of them on anything let alone a FiST. Another problem is that they are only available out of the UK?!? No big deal. I'm not planning on throwing a bunch of money into mods other than wheels...and possibly coilovers now so I'll just eat some money on the wheels. They are kind of cool the more I look at them...just not grabbing me though?!? I'm starting to think 5 star wheels and the OZ multispokes are the best looking wheels on our cars. But what do I know?!?
