I liek the stock look a lot. Im having a really hard time trying to find a rim that would look bad ass on our cars. So far this is my favorite by far.

So Subjective isn't it ! They Look Too Similiar to Stock for me, but I like the Look of stock as well. But if I get something Different, I think I want to stray away from stock look, but that's just me.

I'm sort of torn between TE-37s & SSR Decoltes

langjae & SD_Surfer have these for sale, but just too Friggin $$ for me at this point, and they are 18s. I'd like to stay with 17s.

Looking good. But I think your car would look really great with some deep dish rims.



These are like $250-$350 for 18s for your car and weigh 23lbs each. I got that pic off the a-tl.com board.

Otherwise, I like your first decision.

IMHO.. looks too much like stock for my tastes.. but if you like thestock look then go for it.. I would go for 20lbs or less if I got 18" rims.. just my two scents.. body odor and bad breath.. haha

For that, keep your stock rims. Chrome the stock ones even.

I have to agree with Chris. Unless...

...you love the "stock" look (which I kinda do), but these weigh 24.5 pounds in 18" as opposed to our 17" stock wheels which weigh, er...how much DO our stock rims weigh again?

These have been up on Tim's site for a while, but I don't recall even ONE person stating they have purchased them. Is there a quality issue here? If someone has them, please post pictures, because they look NICE!
