Jonsibal, it is a common practice here, bashing a wheel because it is heavy. There are people out there that don't give a **** about running on heavy 18s because they look 10x better than 15 ibs ricer rims. Different purposes, different practices, what can you say?

and why are you advocating other people? There was a certain negative thought, which is based on a pic. Overreacting? Well, you have not seen it yet. This heavy rim deal is REALLY getting old. But, hey, can't overcome ignorance.

Well I have to say these rims wil probably be around 23-26#'s maybe more...at 9" wide, unless they are magnesium..
But hey, you don't buy these rims for track...My Advan RG-IIs are 16#s, if I am tracking/autoxing I'm gonna use my advans...but I need a second set of rims for my daily tires/rain tires..my AO48's just dont grab anything when its wet out.

Because he/she never said heavy rims were bad, just that they looked heavy. Had he said they looked light, would you assume he was bashing light rims?? I took his words as they were typed, and I tried not to wrongly apply the common beliefs of the board.

Heavy because there is a lot of metal, spokes, deep dish ... I am more worried about the way the stick WAY OUT ... Curb Scrapers
They should be INSIDE the tire ,,,like these are : Otherwise you will rub against the beautiful wheel and not your rubber tire
I truely think they are an awesome looking wheel, but I have 3 sets of wheels already ...
How much for the Madness stickers ? heheee

Here's another quote
Do i really have to do this again. my god, i am running 17x8 in front and 17x9 in rear. might not be black but not hard to change that. and yes they are 4x100.

the tires that i am running right now are 205-40-17 in front and in the rear in have 215-40-17. the ET on my wheels are a little bit different to any other wheels. in the front i am running a +35 offset and in the rear it a +25 offset. i took my buddy matt about a week to figure out what offset to use and to clear the fender and the inner fender. the rear subframe on my car is about 1/2 in away from my wheel. little scary. not all tires can be stretched. toyo t1-s's and bridgestone s03(i am running) are the most common tire used for a stretched look, and no you cant put any wider then that because of fender clearance. my car is lowered from stock about 2 1/2 to 3 inches. my kw on the front are lowered all the way down and the rears are aout half way. because of the camber in the rear i had to run mini-madness adjustable control arms and due to oversteering i added a 20mm mini-madness sway bar. i handles awesome, i am sure if i put a set of 7in wide wheels on front and back i am sure i would handle 10 times better. I AM NOT GIVING OUT THE MAKE. i dont want to be one of those guys that everyone else has the same wheels and that everyone copies. took me 3 months to find the right wheels, and anyone else can do the same. any wheels that is wide you are going to be spending from 400 and up a wheel. so get ready. thanks for the comment on my car.
