Does anyone like any of the stock rims?
I'm extremely particular about what kind of rims I consider attractive, but I happen to like the stock TII rims shown here on the left (closest) car:

Does anyone else like them? Are they much heavier than other rims people put on their '7? Also, what are the stock ones made of?

I like the S5 meshes seen (rarely up here - maybe US only?) on late TIIs and GTUs, and always have liked the BBS vert rims (I have a set for my track tires - impressively light, too). The 5 star '91 coupe wheels look good, but not great, they are smallish (15x6), so they need some beefy rubber on them to fill out the wheel wells better - 225/50 Toyo RA-1s worked nicely for me, for rainy track use and driving to-from the track if I didn't want to change tires. Other than that, no, not really.

I only like the vert BBS wheels. The phone dials, which came on my car stock (88 SE) grew on me, just because they're extremely lightweight. Although they're ugly, along with all the other stock wheels for FC's, IMHO.

I was checking out a set of phone dials that my friend has (not installed, but with rubber) and indeed they seemed very light. Could someone PLEASE PLEASE post weight specs on the phone dial rims? Or at least point me in a direction to find that info? I'm very curious.

I'd like to see pics of what everyone's talking about. I know the phone dials and star pattern, and I think I know which ones the rest are, but I want to be sure.
