Bronze NT-Rs on blue

I just mounted some NT-Rs today and thought a few people might want to see what bronze looks like on stock blue. Its not a good pic becouse it is pouring rain. The spot on the bumper is actually a rain drop on the lens. I will post better pics if there is an interest. I am pleased by the outstanding wheel quility for the low price -alittle less then $250 each, and of course the weight. The claimed weight is 17.2lbs and mine were actually 17.4. They are all four 17x9 and fit perfect. I am running 255/40/17 Goodyear Eagle 1s.

Cool wheels, I have never heard of them before... both cheap and lightweight. I would like to see some more pics. What offsets are you running?

They are Sparco wheels in a 45 offset. Bricke was the first on the forum to run them. Search for Sparco NT-R and you will find his info also.

hey those are pretty wild, they look ''delicate'' but I'm sure they'll hold up just fine.. they sure are lightweight, thats a good price too.
nice size on your car, it looks great.

hey bricke, yes I got them at discount as you suggested in your old post.
The wheels are only available in bronze, black or white as far as I know. This weekend I will take some better pics. Thanks for the compliments.

They are available in 3 colors:







Whether all three are available here in the US is another problem.

if you got time, pls post some pics of your car.

debating on when i go wheels, if these are the ones to go with. the main reason i like these wheels is because of the perfect size i want (17x9 +45), light weight, and price. (are they strong tho?) the only thing holding me back from %100 deciding on these wheels is the style. i've always been a fan of thicker spoked rims. i was thinking balck on vr, but not too sure if i woiuld like it.

thanks,
chris

What "Mahjik" said, however, if you want the wheels polished or chromed, there are wheel shops that can machine polish or chrome dip the wheels for you (at an additional expense of course).

I'll have to get some pictures of them on the car, maybe if it warms up enough tomorrow I'll take her out and snap some for you.
I think they look really nice, but that's just my opinion.
They aren't a flat black either, they have a lot of metallic flake that you wouldn't notice at first.
