Default Which wheels should i pick for my 97 gsr???

what do ya think.........all the rims r under 480 shipped w/ lug nutz

konig heliums 15x6.6 weight=just under 11lbs



or speedmaster 15x6.5 weight=10.6lbs



***just added...speedmaster in gunmetal w/ polished lip

speedmaters and paint them bronze.

However the heliums look great. But it's worth having a lighter wheel. 1lb may not seem like a lot, but when it comes down to it all it'll make the difference in the long run. Especially in your wheels. Trust me on this one.

You mean what your car COULD look like if you put on the heliums, OEM kit, and lowered it

I say go for the heliums.

Anyone have a pic of those gunmetal speedmasters on a black 98+ teg? They are slick. I love the pic of those heliums though......They would match my car
