If I didn't have a y7 I'd put these on, but I don't need to slow it down anymore.

I agree^ They look great, although a bit of negative camber would make them look even better. At the expensive of uneven tire wear lol

to those of you who like them, thanks!
they're obv. heavier than oem wheels, but i wouldnt say they're super heavy.
i have some camber but its not too noticeable in the pics.

they're from Diamond Racing wheel company, nothing like oem wheels without hubcaps.. to the jackass who said take off your hubcaps

they weight 14-20 lbs.

and except for them being white they're the exact same as my steelies with no hubcaps. only difference is its made an array of sizes and inner steel design.

they look cool, if this is your cruisin car. But when I see a car with something like this, I already know it's slow. (same weight at 18" chrome). Looks nice though, i like the offset.

I dont like stretched tires. I would consider these if I could fit the correct size tire on it, which isnt readily available in a street tire. They are made for R comps. I dont think it looks horrible or great, but performance wise its better to go with a standard offset and width wheel with the widest, stickiest tire that can fit.

Oh hey, an actual GOOD (read: not witty/smartass) post that goes against the OPs likes/dislikes. If only all forum users were the same

Staggered and/or stretched fitment on FWD is so the ghey, so is this non technical thread!

So long as the toe is set to zero and tires are rotated frequently camber has minimal impact on tire wear

Oh, hardly. I take most posts with a grain of salt (as can tell by my response to yours ) so it's no biggie. It's just the internets after all
