after racing around with vettes and posches, i realize that the ITR is a very potent car, except on straight aways...so why slow things down by adding more rotational weight? (incase, these do weight more than 13 lbs )

Why not just buy the originals from the manufacturer, Work Wheels?

I have been trying hard looking for JDM GM 16's but no luck. Only CW ones in classifieds.
I am not crazy about aftermarket rims so the search continues.

OEM 17" DC5R wheels aren't manufactured by Work. Even though they resemble Work Emotions.

Center Caps gotta go, other than that, they look good for a knockoff dc5 rim

i think for the most part, they look pretty decent. I know once these wheels are shown in the magazines.....they'll be hot!
