hey man, haven't run into you for a while, really glad you like em. as above they are 17"x8" as for weight they are 14.9 pounds (6.75kg) - forged.

Apparently discontinued (according to weds japan page) but maybe not for the us market becuase ive seen them advertised in honda tuning and on the tirerack website. I got mine second hand , originally from japan.

those look more like 18s to me, probably because they don't have a recessed / dish lip design and the spokes are flush,

yea true, the design/width/offest all combine to make em look a bit bigger than they are

Are those 235/45/17's? I can see that they're Yoko Advans, but can't read the size on the tire...

damn love the look of that exhaust. just one more thing pushing me closer to buying one. big brake kit or new exhaust, hmmmmm. one of the deciding factors will be whether i like the greddy sound after adding the new header and cat.

my previous rims were 18.3 pounds and these are 14.9, so it wasn't a massive difference in weight but i would say the car feels more willing to change direction and generaly lighter on its feet than it did before, more responsive.

Personally I'd be looking at the BBK first, they'd do a lot to really set off your larger rims but j's racing exhaust would look great on your car

i tried to get this piece in a while ago through one of the members on here living in europe- if you want it for the modulo you have to buy the whole rear lip, or you can buy the plug by itself if you have no rear lip. I was going to buy the plug designed for no bodykit and see how that went but it fell through.
