Pics of new G-Games 77S Sidewinders

Ok, lets try this again. If this post shows up more than once, blame on sunspots. The first time I tried my browser blew up.

Anyway, I finalloy borrowed a digital camera and took some pictures of my TSX with the new wheels and spoiler. they're only so-so since I was having some "user interface issues" with the camera, but they'll have to do.

Many thanks to Red-CL, jlukja, and blackjackman for the tips on posting pictures . Let's hope I get it right this time.

Oops - I left that out. They're stock size, 17x7.0. The pictures really don't do them justice. The silver powder coating is very bright and they really look different from the OEM wheels. The center caps are very detailed with chrome allen screws. Kinda nice, actually.

I really like those rims on the TSX. CMF's car had me convinced and this is just the icing on the cake.

I guess I need to borrow the camera again and take some close ups - or buy my own .

By the way, the car is Meteor Silver, aka light blue. The blue tint kinda washes out in bright sunlight.

Oh yeah - BlackTSX, what happened to the pictures of your wheels in the gallery? Didn't you have a close up shot in there? They look particularly against black.

We'd definitely like to see those puppies up close. Very clean look.

As for washing out in sunlight, try shooting closer to sundown or sunup. Neochaser takes great shots. He could give you even better advice.

Or on a cloudy day. Midday sun = not flattering

I only know "discounttiredirect.com" $240 each any other places sell them cheaper? I really like 18s but eh 17s looks good enough to me.....

17x7 huh? hmmm I wonder if I can get away with 235/45/17.

Very nice wheels

Anybody know how much the 17" and 18" weigh?
18x7.5 +48 offset would be perfect on the TSX...

rough guess for 18" is 19-20lb. The G-Games 77W 18" weighs 19lb, and it has only 5 spokes. I would guess the 77S w/ many spokes is slightly heavier.
