If the quality of these seem okay, I am buying them this weekend, I love the looks.

great for a cheap winter wheel but personally i dont like black rims at all! those rims come with a winter package deal those rims and blizzak tires for 900 i think not a bad deal. but most fc's will not see the snow including mine. I personally love BBS but they are so dam expensive. good luck post pics when u mount the rims!

They are not black, they are carbon grey I don't want chrome .. to bling for my taste, stand out to much and take away from the rest of the car. I was looking for a nice 'looks like it belongs' type of look.

Buy what you like. Don't buy what I like cause you might not like what I like.

I hear ya there. I do like the looks of these, and i want to get them for the looks .. but i know nothing of the brand, or quality .. or the weight of them. Some insight on quality if anyone knows would be great.

But I don't mind opinions either.

For the love of god, these rims are dead freakin' sexy ... but wheels are one thing I know near nothing about.. does anyone know how the qaulity of these wheels are? I just want them to hold up well, including the paint on them. I know they are not the best .. but they are also not $300-400 a pop. But are they decent?

Thx.

They look similar to the 5Zigen Fireball Wheels I have on my car... Mine are bronze but they make them in a 'hyperblack' similar to gunmetal.

Quality on these is top shelf. Made in Japan.

Wow, those do look almost dead on! good call. Those are a little more pricey, but only by a few bucks. .. I might have to take a closer look at those.

My only advice is be aware that the offset is 42mm; I'm running 225 45 17's at all corners, and they come really close to rubbing the springs up front. I've got Falken Azenis' and they fit, but some 225 rubber may not. Be careful.

How are the back? Cause I am thinking about 215/45/17 front and 225/45/17 rear to be safe.

There's LOTS of room out back. Don't go 215 out front, just find 225's that you know won't rub, if you go 215 your front sidewall will be smaller than the rear 225's, the car rolling dia will probably be a tiny bit smaller and the car will sit jacked up at the back.
