FC with S5 T2 mesh rims pictures please

ok, i went to the garage and lets face it, not many have pics in there. i have a 1991 coupe with 17'' konig monsoons and due to an accident had to go back to my 15'' GXL 5-spokes. the GXLs feel awesome coz theyre so much lighter.

im thinking of selling my konigs for T2 rims (i beilieve their even lighter than the GXLs) so i have 16'' rims that r still light......i just want to confirm my plan coz the konigs look very sexy on my car.

so anyone with an FC with the above mentioned rims, please send me a pic/s so i can see if i really wanna go this route.

thanks

i thought konig's were pretty light? thats what I use... because konigs ARE in fact very sexy...
And i doubt tii rims are much lighter... plus 17's will hook up better... and most likely their fatter so you can put fatter tires on them.

i saw that, but it doesnt give me the weights of my rims...the S5 GXL 5 spokes.

also i saw icemark post in a thread once that the weights of the rims were as follows (light-heavy):

1. 15'' mesh (vert models)
2. 16'' mesh infini models
3. 16'' S5 T2/GTUs mesh
4. 15'' GTU 5 spokes
5. 15'' S5 GXL 5-spokes
6. 15'' 4 baloney cutters
7. 16'' S4 T2

correct me if im wrong guys....

If you search through the most recent 7stock pictures

You'll see a number of pictures of my Black S4 Vert with S5 TII wheels. If you want to really bling bling them, get a set and have them polished and chromed and also have the center caps metalized. About $100 wheel to chrome and another $15 to metalize the centers. Came out really good.
