They are Team Dynamics Pro Race 1's in matte black. 17x7. I love them so far and i think they fit well with the car.

Nice pictures, although they're a little blue - did you have the white balance set to "manual/tungsten" for the artistic effect, or where those settings from a previous shoot?

I appreciate your honesty, and im not offended, were cool
. I kind of like the subtle look though. I reall got them because theyre so much lighter and i tend to do lots of autocrossing.

Ah... black TDRs on DS. It would appear you have excellent taste, my friend.
Don't listen to the haters. Now it's time to lose some chrome.

I like them! They really look good on DS/B. While travelling to the Dragon, I followed another MCS with similar rims and they looked great in person.
Thanks for sharing

6 lbs. per corner...i think. they weigh around 17 lbs. each.
