Default Wheels what you think?

What do you think of these? I kinda like em they only run about $127. But they weigh 24.5 lbs. Anyone know of ones like this that are similar but weigh less and cost about the same.

I wasn't complaining I simply asked about the wheels and alternatives, I did how ever complain about some people's posts to other peoples questions and to mine that are completely not helpful.

I'd go with something lighter. And I've seen uglier rims. But those arent pretty.

Your 97 EX is a pig as is. Why make it worse?

i like the look. but they weigh to much. if u had an auto tranny that would kill your torq converter. my 16x7.5s are 19lbs thats even to heavy for me, but i got them cheap so i can;t complane.

get something lighter.

Since i can't post this at the bottom i figured i'd just edit this one.
It must be *** hole day on here as I have read other threads and seen some pretty unhelpful rather rude comments people talking about wasting bandwidth and H-T time and space looks like they are wasting time and space here, but not all of you, to those who have been helpful to me in the past I appreciate it and I appreciate the work and efforts of those who run the site and who have also offered advice to me. Being relatively new to the forum as well as imports, I can assure you that i'm begining to get a bad impression. Again to those who help thanks.

welcome to the fun world of H-T!!!

don't worry you'll learn who to ignore, and which ppl you can truely rely on for useful information.
anytime you post a thread with "...what do you think...", everyone is gonna <U>really</U> tell you what they think.

don't sweat it!


the rims don't look too bad ...I like just simple 5 spoke wheels. I actually bought a used pair of 14s from a friend, they looked pretty simple, not very "flashy", but clean. Turns out they are great lightweight wheels
