I like the style

but...

the color: what color is your car (I can't see in your sig, maybe just my browser) sad.gif

the weight: way too damn heavy, unless you drive in autotragic. then it doesn't matter.

the center caps: I don't like the burger king hat on the center caps. It reminds me too much of that freaky ass dude in the BK commercials wearing that "king' outfit. :shivers:

Personally, I'd stay away from 17's but that's just my opinion. I'm moving this to the wheels forum.

NO f***in weigh those are 14's (inches in DIAMETER) and they weigh 18.2lbs. My 17's weight waay less than that.

You sure they are 14's? That's SMALLER than stock. (I think stock is 15"). Go with 15"-17" on RD's. fing02.gif

I don't think you are the type to go all out and buy super lightweight one-piece rims, but an okay weight for a 17" rim is 12-16lbs each.
