I would have got 18s instead but to each his own. I'm kinda 50/50 on that front bumper but all in all its very nice, I would recommend dropping that sucker next on some nice coilovers

If you don't mind me asking how much where those per wheel? I'd also go with 17's (I didn't buy the EVO for looks)

Don't worry bout the haters. Those rims are amazing and 17s are perfect... look good and functional. What type of coilovers do you plan on getting?

The important thing is that you got to keep your advans!

How much difference in steering response and acceleration did the lighter rims make? Saving 5lb/wheel should make a noticeable difference.

Nice looking wheels BTW. I'm considering getting a set of those in 17" just so I can keep my advans.

these go about $350-375 per wheel....

i save about 5 lbs per rim plus about a 1 or 2 total from lugnuts maybe... yeah i definetly can feel the 21-22 lb weight off of my rims... braking seems tad easier, and acceleration has a "lighter on the feet" feel.... maybe this would improve my 0-60 by .1 hehe.... my rims are still breaking in so i havent pushed it in the corners to feel the benefits in the corners....

I was amazed how heavy our stock lugs were -- I have Ray Engineering lugs now for my Volks and managed to save a good bit of weight myself. Looks good, but I would probably look at some springs next!
