Not my cup of tea, but if you like them thats what matters.

Just for the sake of saying though.....cheap wheels equal cheap quality usually, and wheels arent something you should be cheap about.

Eh, I don't really like them, but at least they are not Rota's.

It may grow on me though, once I see them on the car. But it doesn't really matter what I think, it is your car.

in my opinion them rims are cool, it doesn't matter if they are Rota's, real deals or any other make. Atleast you got rims. What some don't understand is rims are rims, even if they cheap or not they still gonna end up being put on the car and somehow someway they gonna end up up getting scratched, dented or even broken. Let's just give a fellow DCfive Squad member some love and a little bit of props. Like I said bro good choice, im sure they gonna look good on your car.

Too overplayed, unoriginal designs, inferior build quality, and too many people THINK they are JDM, when they are actually PDM.

But that is just my opinion

Yup, true. I will say, however, that although I was seriously disappointed in myself when I banged one of my Rota Circuit 8's into a curb, I was later greatly relieved when I reminded myself that a brand-new replacement rim only cost about $130 instead of $450+ like the real thing.

Because when a wheel weighs more etc it takes more power to actually rotate/move the wheel. I believe the term is Unsprung weight.

Hes just saying it because you have just lost performance by adding the wheels. The stock OEM 16's weigh 16lbs, and you just added 2lbs to each corner. Its only 8lbs all together but divided that on to each hub and it makes a little difference in acceleration and braking.

I only upgrade my wheels when I can buy a set that will increase my performance. Lighter wheels will give better acceleration and braking. Sometime it will also give you a better options for tire sizes etc.

No prob. I know what your saying about wanting the car to look good.

I had to drive the stockies for about a month after I bought my EP3 before I bought my Works....it sucked
