Re: (scorp965)
Never liked the look of those wheels, but if they claim to be 13lbs for 17" and 16 lbs for 18" wheels - you can't really complain HOW they look because of how little they weigh.
Is that the full wings west kit?

They're forged aluminum lightweight wheels, how 'expensive' is a wheel supposed to look? They're lighter than a set of TE37's, they're slightly lighter than ssr comp's, and they're a japanese wheel, which fits the car - I was going to go with a set of bbs lm's, but figured racing sparcos would be more 'appropriate'?

I think BBS LMs would look a lot better. I wouldn't care if it's more appropriate or not just because they're not Japanese...

Konig makes a cheap/cast knock off of this wheel, iirc these racing sparcos were never sold in the US.

Those are the wheels that are currently installed, the racing sparcos are intended to replace them, but (given the limited nature of the wheel, and the fact that it was only sold in Asia) there are few 'good' shots of it, straight on, so I had to enlarge dramatically a smaller picture.
I hate to keep rooting for a wheel that is being masacarred in this poll, but the racing sparcos would have a massive front lip due to the aggressive offset, and would have a larger rear lip... 2" of lip in the front, 3" in the rear.

As stated earlier, konig makes a cast knockoff of this wheel... probably why they look similar
