My new CST/MB Battle Wheels!!!!
Well it took me forever to find these and in the correct size that fit my stock stance. So what do you guys think?

theyre nice and cheap wheels .. the only issue is how rare they are if u mess one up.
u shoulda went with the 18x9.5 that mb sells of those.. and some nice tires with a dumped drop
would look hott

Thanks for the opinion but I came from a different mindset.
I just spent money on a complete turbo upgrade, HKS 272 Cams, exhaust, Exedy clutch, Competition Flywheel, 1000cc injectors, manual and electrical boost controllers, paid for a tune and dyno time and I love to race on the street. So knowing the cost of 18 inch rubber vs 17 in rubber my decision was 17's. They are a lot cheaper to replace and are a bit better to race light to light with. The 18x9.5 will NOT fit the stock setup. And having just spent all the money on the above I was tapped out for coilovers at the moment and I wanted the wheels badly. So again I went with 17x9 wheels. I am planning a 2in drop in the future & I think the 17's will look killer at that time.
