***Update Pics on Pg. 2***

Finally got around to taking pictures of the new wheels on the Si (weather has been off and on here oddly enough). Overcast today, I'll update with some sunny day pictures soon.

Motegi Tracklite in gunmetal - 17X7 - 5X114.3 - 14.3lbs per wheel - Forged

$255 per. $40 for mount, balance, install. A bit more than $1100 after tax. I got a price online and shopped locally until I found a place that would price match.

I was alternately looking at the Enkei RS+M, however, it only came in silver. Very light wheel as well at 15.7lbs.

Yeah, the tire rack price was my starting point. It took a bit of looking, but there was two places that I found for $255'ish.

Not that I would have actually bought from some random, cheap place, but it makes for a good 'can you match this price' to take locally.

No, I replaced my stock tires with Yokohama AVS ES100s a while back, before I decided on what wheels to get. The all-seasons had to go.

These are the wheels I want, they look good on the car. Figure they will look sick on a black car like mine.

Not really, IF THEY EVEN MADE 18's Im sure they would only weigh about 16 lbs, considering the 17's only weigh 14.

But they only make these wheels in 15, 17 and 19. Which is ***, but oh well.

They still look hot Janizary
