I like them!!

My only thing is the weight ;( not a big deal though. I am looking into wheels too. I am looking into saving a little weight for performance as well. Overall a good looking wheel

Want to see pics if you get them.

Those rims are soo beautiful. If you don't like the word beautiful, it looks AWESOME. haha. Good choice. Get some FAT rubbers on those. Like 235's.

but your wheels are only 7" wide while the OP's are 7.5" so although you have less unsprung weight the OP will have a larger foot print.

also to the OP, in comparing the new set up (17x7.5" et 40) to OEM (17x7" et 48) with that offset your inside clearance will be fine, you will be pushing the outer dimensions of the wheel out .56" past the where your OEM 17x7" wheel is now.

No you will not need spacers. I just put some et38's on mine and its perfect. They will stick out 8mm more than the stock rims, plus a little extra because they are wider than stock. Also you may not be able to 'put some fat rubber' on them, like was said above. For example, on the rims I have, which only stick out 2mm more, there was a guy who could only fit 205s (this was on H&R springs though)

I almost opted for these! Great price, great style, and Kazera makes quality wheels. However, couple things to consider...

1. Heavy - at 21lbs+
2. The silver part in the middle throws off the black out, IMO

If those things don't bother you, then go for it, it will look great!
