you found a very good deal, some of us didn't. Good job though.

Maybe they'd rather spend that extra $$ they save on performance....

Sorry but your reason is not good enough for me, I bought a set of 4 Enkei's for $440 SHIPPED and NO TAX. Do the math, $110.00 per wheel.

the konig heliums are pretty nice. there is a groupbuy on it at groupbuycenter.com but i think you can get it for cheaper. not sure.

Just saw a set of Konig Helium's on eBay for $400 plus shipping. I do like the Helium compared to the Circuit 8 look.

Keep em coming people.....I am pretty much in the market now. I may go with 16's though...even though everyone will probably hate on that idea.

Anyone know the weight of the Flik Apex?? They look nice!

16's are good, I had them on my vw gti and were nice but felt really rough, rougher than 17's. Not sure but it might have been the tires or the suspension on my car. I can say that the price for 16's is pretty expensive compared to 17's.

SSR Competition wheels start off at $299 ea for 9.5-11.5lb wheels. They are awesome wheels though.

if you don't car about looks, Panasport.
