The Mantas are my favorite rim, they look bigger cuz the spokes go all the way to the edge. So they just might be 17's.

They were 18's. I had to do a double take at the tire size to make sure. I thought they were 19's at first.

nice rims, Boy am I glad your on the west cost. Your drop makes comptechs springs look stock! I got mine in Hyper black, Are those silver? Do you have any rubbing? I really love these wheels too, good choice. later

Well first of all his sig is outdated because it doesn't even list his rims as of this posting.
Second if they are 17s, the only reason they look big enough for our car is because his car is dropped 2" with his springs.

Alright guys......here's the story:

They are Ace Alloy Manta's. The rim is 18 x 7.5 and the tires are 225/40-18. The reason they look bigger is because the spokes go all the way to the edge.....and because the car is dropped with Eibach's (2" drop). The good part is that they are one-piece forged, so they only way 17.5 pounds each.

I researched wheels for a while before I found these........but I had to have them.

Once again, thanks for all the compliments. I am planning on taking some pics of the car with my girlfriend and some of her frineds dressed pretty slutt, posing with the car.

THANKS...............

wait a minute, are you sure? Are mine forged as well or did you order the same style wheels with a forged construction? Anyway, they are pretty strong, I hit some potholes that made me pull over and check the wheels out on the spot and still no damage what so ever. And you have a 43mm offset too, with no rubbing? How different are the Eibacjs from Comptech in terms of ride quality?

The place that I ordered from told me that they where forged. All I know is that they are HELLA light and very strong.

As far as the springs are concerned, the Eibach's are very stiff. I would recommend getting shocks if your getting the springs, but i need to save some money first.
