Well.. Time for some new rims and I just wanted to get some opinions on these. They will be going on a yellow oz with a cf hood.

http://www.whalentire.com/wheeldetai...0-10AP&size=17

Let me know if you're feeling them.

Also, for tires.... I was thinking the Kumho ASX 215-40-17..

thanks phil, whalentire sells the RS-7's for a decent price. I just hope these are dark enough and flow well with the carbon fiber wing/hood and yellow.. i'll check out vividracing and see what they got.

Forgot to ask, what made you pick the burnouts over the rs-7's? what site did you get the burnouts off of?

Nice, enkei's are always a nice buy. They aren't too bad of a price either. They will look nice on the yellow OZ.

And as always... post some pics once you get them on!

i got the burnouts because they were on sale . and plus, they were the exact kind of wheel i wanted. i just wanted an 8-10 spoke gunmetal wheel with a polished lip and wheelsnext.com had them on sale the time i checked so i bought them the same night . talk about an impulse buy. it was only 700 shipped and the wheels came mounted & balanced and with tuner lugs. but when i checked on whalentire, they had it for about 40 bucks cheaper but they were out of stock.

I'd say definitely go for it. Those wheels are hot and would definitely compliment the yellow and the CF hood.

hey, i didnt say anything bad about em.. their GREAT tires for that amount of money! Good on both dry and wet roads.. Just not a tire for snow and not a good tread saver if you know what i mean :: So let me get this straight, you paid 700 bucks for rims/tires/shipping/valve stems/lug nuts/locks/mounting/balancing?
