I'm not sure why nobody is fond of the looks. I'm going with these wheels for the function as well as the looks. It's one of the most affordable, best looking, and functional wheels, I have yet to find all rolled into one!

Exactly. I bought these same rims and sold my stockers for 500. They're the cheapest and lightest possible wheels. I think they look o.k. except for the fact that it shows the dull flat surface of the stock brake rotors. However if you had crossed-drilled or slotted ones...

They weigh anywhere from 15.9 - 16.2 lbs each. I was thinking of painting them a gunmetal but decided to leave them alone for now. They are Enkei RPF1 17x8.5 +40 with 235/45ZR17. The tire/wheel assembly weighs around 42-43 lbs.

They are growing on me and look a lot better in person! They also make the brake rotors look HUGE.

i dont want to be a dick but...

i think the Volks CE28N wheels are more for looks and function:
18/9 +35 weight 16.5 LBS...
the 17 /8.5 are 13.75 LBS.

BUT the car looking awsome!

rpf's are really nice wheels but they look the best when they are 9 or wider. powder coat them either black or gold and you'll be set.
