Not bad. Kinda funky thing with the gaps there at the lip edge though. How wide are they? They look like 17's, but how wide are the rims?

nice wheels indeed.too bad they were made to be more affordable and yet they still manage to cost just as much if not more than other offerings from rays.

Not sure on the weight. They didn't feel any heavier than stock when I put them on.
Price? well, they go for about 400 each, but I got em' cheaper than that.

I think they look just right, and some shocks will help a little more with the look.

Overall they look good, but I'm not a fan of the 'universal lug pattern' wheels.

I agree. I don't like the extra mounting holes for different bolt patterns.

I like the wheels. They look strange because the FD has too much wheel gap in stock form for 18's. Throw some RB springs on there and it'll look great!!

i think he means you need to lower your car more... it's looking a little 4x4 style with those big wheels.

looks nice, but you NEED to get some kind of front lip. R1/R2, or 99 spec would do the trick... after you lower the car about an inch

need to go lower, with the height of the car it makes those 18's look like 17's..
looks good on the car though..

Nice wheels, I don't know about silver on silver, maybe a darker color for the wheel? Well, anyways, they are good looking and the polished lip is very pretty. Josh
