so i've been searching for wheels on craigslist for the past month or so.. and finally i come across these babies.

crappy pic tease..

i swore to myself that i wouldn't cheap out on wheels, but at times like these.. i couldn't help it. $150 for all 4 with ok tires.. i still have to get one rim fixed, which doesn't hold air.. so in all, it should come to around 275-300.. not bad

17x7
+40 offset

i'll post up moar pics when i get the fronts on..

I've always thought that 17's are the best compromise between looks and performance. 18's or 19's look really good on a lowered car, but they kill acceleration. 15 inch alloys have low rotating mass, but they just don't fill up the wells. And you didn't cheap out -- those wheels look good.

Craigslist is the best for wheels. I paid $300 for my rays in good condition. Wrong color when i got them but whatever. I do need to refinish my wheels. Good pickup though.

so you saying rims like rays/works/5Zigen and a few other light weight wheels still kill acceleration? when i had my 17s it feel like eh normal and switch to ggames 18s..i swear it feel lighter and when i floor it..it just go ...maybe it just my mind playing tricks on me and that is one of the reason i brought them to begin with >>light weight rims = faster acceleration


i use to have that rim on my EM2 4drh22accord.nice buy btw...
