just picked up some new shoes today.

I just got these 17x7 put on today, i had a different wheel that i wanted to go on but the lug pattern was wrong so instead of waiting another freakin week for the rims i went ahead and chose this set, i hope everyone likes them. I don't know yet they are kinda growin on me i guess.

why not wait a week for the set you REALLY wanted? Seems like a waste to me, but I like them from what I can see.

Agreed. I'm gonna be puttin a lot of hard earned cash down on rims, so theres no way I'd just change my mind like that.

I am on my third or fourth week of waiting for a set of wheels, but they are in Japan right now, and I am in no hurry for them. I know the seller, so no big deal. Besides, it just snowed here in CO, so that is another reason to wait.

Ya man a week isn't bad for a set of wheels.. I waited 4 and a half weeks for my Lexani's. Then when they got here, I had to send them to a machine shop for some modifactions for another 3 days...

The ones you got look good though.

Well, i know the wait would have been worth it to wait for the rims that i wanted, but it also ended up that, the ones i chose, they didn't look as good to me as these did, this really brought out the aftermarket look in the car and the ones i had chosed before, almost made it look to much like it was stock, so i compared the two wheel designs in the shop and i like this set a lot better. I am happy with what i got though, i have waited a few years now to actually give up the nerve to spend that much on wheels. You know how money gets when you have it sometimes it's hard to let go. Okay and here are a few more pics.


Don't make fun of the hair, i went and got a hair cut today.

Haha, figured i would get a pic while it was there.

They look pretty good. I don't think I've ever seen those before! For some reason they look like 16's to me though. What size tires did you get?

I think it's just that they have the outer lip away from the spokes. That tends to make wheels look a size smaller.

I like them. And I like the graphic on the car too. I've seen tons of vinyl I hate (and I'm not fan at all of vinyl on the lights) but I dig that silver thing on the side there. Good work.

Thanks, that means a lot comin from someone that get's a lot of props on his car and is a well known member on here. The tires are 225/40/17. And these wheels i heard are the new Focal production wheels, so i guess not a lot have been sold yet. Yeah, the vinyl on the headlights thing was something a buddy of mine thought would look good, It made the car stand out a little more but i think i will be taking it off soon, bugs are starting to tear it apart. I wish i kinda had that look though off of the hood, but i don't know any good body work guys around here and well i can't do it myself so I'm just gonna wait till i can afford a new hood. Thanks for the comment.

you sure that there 40's? i have 45's on my 17's and thats what those tires look like. there a nice rim but i think they look small because the spokes dont come all the way out to the lip.

Bone stock Z: I got them at a shop here close to where i live, i know the owner and his son, they grew up with my dad through high school and what not so the price is a little different for me. I picked the wheels/tires and full mounting/balancing/locking lug nuts up for 1100. And i think that they come with a graphite and chrome. The graphite one i believe has the polished lip.

BaggedCav: Yeah, i'm 100% positive that they are 40's.
