I wouldn't touch them. For $580, they probably weigh 35 pounds. I wouldn't waste my money. Save your money for better rims.

I've seen those wheels on a MR2 and they looked pretty nice. If you want the look i say go for it; however, i'd get some 5zigens or some ASA's . . . .

Sport max are a good cheap rims. I was looking at buying a set for the FD they weight something 28 lbs not bad for a 18x9.5 rim. I think my volk GTC 19 weight the same. But if you look around you can find those for about 450-500 so yeah dont waste your money By the way I have a set on my 240. But go to their website and look at the new stuff. The 962 are last years stuff.

FDs deserve nice, lightweight wheels. If you switch from the light stock wheels (15#) and tires to a heavy 18 inch rim and tire setup, you will feel like you lost about 100 horsepower at around-town speeds. seriously.
