steelgrey subzero 17 inch rotas for sure.

Otherwise, go with some medium mesh wheels. The OEM mesh wheels aren't too bad either:

Well I'll be powder coating the TII wheel for my vert, but the coating will be clear

The TII wheels ONLY look good on lighter color cars when you can see the aluminum surface through the clearcoat (and the aluminum isn't nasty grey). Otherwise red & white looks sweet as well.

I'd still think RarestRX's would look good with repainted/matching/or contrasting OEM centercaps.

Definitely subzeros. Konig makes them too(and another co. or too I think). Those are the ones I want(or the RH cp-035rs ). Check out the stock rims on some new eclipses, they look similar and should be pretty damn light. I'll see if I can find a pic. Think they are 17s too.

To be honest? I'm afraid I don't like those wheels *shrugs* I can tell ya, imo, I think BBS would look good - they're expensive (I can get them at a pretty good price) ....I wouldn't mind having them.

Wheel #1 are Racing Hart CP-035 knock offs. Considering the real ones are forged and wiegh aroun 17.5# in 17x10, I somehow doubt they wiegh 16 lbs. Are those 17x7s?

I definately like the Advan steel-greys. Very hot.

Actually I think the cp-035s are around 13# for 17s. The konig subzeros weigh in at like 16.9 I think as well. Go here: www.wheelweights.net

I like the first ones. As long as the colors match. How long you had that car?

I like the gunmetal Advan replicas. Where can you get a set at? I'm sure they'd look good on the convertible.

I guess if you got the 17X7.5 you could put a
225/45ZR17
but thats kinda skiny on the back
I would go more like

225/45ZR17 front
255/40/17 rear but your not going to fit a 255 on 7.5 wheel
