It's official! Finalized my RIM purchase!
Well after much research and shopping around I ordered from Northeast Auto Design. They took the time to help me out and were the cheapest.
I ordered:
-17x7 Rays gram LIGHTS 57PRO (grey/silver)
-Rays center caps
-Black Rays performance lug nuts
-hubcentric rings
$1700 shipped
Only thing is it could take 2 months before anything comes from Japan.
Link to actual pics of rims. My photoshop does them no justice.
Quick PS of what they might look like
I cannot WAIT! They are gonna look sick and they weigh only 16-17lbs! At least I got time to pay them off so I can charge some tires and install.
You guys have been bitching at me to buy rims for 4 years now and it's Finally going to happen. I hope you will be as pleased as I am.

ENGAGE MY VTEC BABY!!!!!!
i like my 17" the 30 is already heavy enough
the less weight the better, those rims are tight mike
nice grab
so 2 months before you get them? make sure you get 45 series tires, dont ger 40, and 50 is too much i have 45 and i think 225, they are michelin wynstars, nice agressive tread
ill be calling you soon i want to see if you have some parts to match some of the things i have, get on aol and we'll chat some

blah blah blah
Those pro 57 are nice. I was gonna switch mine out to the Pro57 with the polished face. But decided not too...but nice choice....it will look great. I had to wait almost 4 months for my GT-P in bronze when i bought my rims.

we are always gonna see different cuz you're really into show car mods. i'can't wait to go home and work again. finally money to put into the car.
maybe i beat you to the h22 swap. we'll see..
AMBERS RULE!
$1700 includes no tires, no mounting, no balancing. in the end this is going to cost me around $2500. these rims list for $450 a piece! the lug nuts list at like $150 and the center caps $30 each. They are not cheap rims by any means, but their not the most expensive like magnesium.

I can tlie man just my opinion but those rims are really ugly......i know they are only 15 lbs but you should have really gone with the 18" superleggras you wanted to get. 17's are gonna look small but hey if you like it go for it!
