haha sorry guys posted this then put 2 of them on for a test and then the girl and everyone wanted to go bowling =[

sorry yall...

well here they are! dirty and night time but hey.. it works!

Motegi R7
17x7
+38
24LBS
all 4 with 3 good tires for spares for 300! not too bad!

(not my tires.. these tires cam with the rims these are 205/40/17 and i have 205/45/17) the 40 vs 45 makes a HUGE difference in height!

not settled either

Definitely needs the 45's on there. The wheels are not my style but they're an upgrade from your old wheels.

And 24lbs for a 17x7.. yikes.

yea i really like em not for everyone... need my 45's defiantly

24lbs is lighter than my old ones..

old wheels 47lbs with tires
new wheels 40lbs with tires..

so a step up in looks and weight but i love them! cant wait to get all my tires awapped and on the car for real!

i might also need to buy some centric rings.. the last owner said they vibrated at 80 before the centric rings but after they were cherry! so ill try them out and see!

If you tighten your lugs in a cross pattern, you shouldn't really have a problem without hubcentric rings. But it does help a lot though to have them.

i always tighten in a cross pattern with a torque wrench.. but it cant hurt to pick up a set... ebay 8 bucks isnt gonna break the bank.. lol

thanks everyone! i am so friggen happy! no more chrome Piece of **** rims! gonna hopefully go to my dads shop today and mount and balance them!

BTW anyone know how to get that white **** off my skirts?? someone told me peanut butter and vinegar? could that be for real? lol i dont want my car smelling like a peanut butter sandwich.. lol
