what are these rims?!



found this on craigslist, and tried to contact the owner. he said they were "tsw" rims but they are not. i searched and never found 6 spoke rims made by them.

i've been trying to decide what color rims i would like to put on my tornado silver 7, and after seeing white on there, i think that is what i'd like to get.

so pleasae let me know if you know what rims these are. thanks!

Are you going to buy them or just wanting to know what they are? Id pass on them.

i was looking at them to buy a set for myself (not from him)

just saw them and thought the size,style and color fit what my car looks like.
does anyone else run white rims?

what is the problem with 17x7 for our car? im running 14x6.5 right now...i have a feeling anything can be an upgrade from what i have. my sidewall is hyoog.

also im on 4 lugs at the moment, but in the spring i'll be putting on my 5 lug swap.

there is nothing wrong with 17x7, not everyone needs or wants 18x9.5s with crazy offsets

if you like them go for it, if others complain let them buy you the wheels of their choice on their dime

Now that sounds like a good idea! For all the fools that want to tell someone else what to do to their cars.

Hard to tell from that picture, but that could also be an old set of Kosei K1 Racings. They came in white. Used to be very popular with the Miata crowd because they're fairly lightweight.

its your car, wheels are an investment.. If you think you can hold onto those wheels for years down the road, be my guest.
What I say probably fuels you more to get them to prove me wrong , but I'm just making suggestions from an enthusiast point of view. 17x7 is weak.

There are tons of other wheels out there, and that small horrible angle picture shouldn't be enough to convince you to go out and find those wheels.
You can find all kinds of badass rims for cheap, like these http://zilvia.net/f/wheels-tires/345...0-4-5x114.html
