Default Buy these wheels?

I am thinking of buying these wheels and need your suggestions about quality, look etc.:

Wheel: BSA 239, made in Malaysia, web page http://www.bsa.com.my
Size: 17x7" ET40, 4x114,3+4x100mm
Weight: 8.95kg (17.6lb)

Some pics fitted on my lude:


What do you think about it, about the BSA company, the weight of the wheel etc?

Yea im not hating but since your asking for commenets those style rims did get played out.

How much you paying? If its a good price then yea go ahead if you like them.

What about the ET? These are ET40 and from the back view, you can see that the wheel could be more out of the chassis, let's say ET35, ehat do you think? My old wheels are 16x7.5" ET35 and fit perfecly.

I understand that you don't like them, but note that I'm from east Europe and here is a bit different situation. I still like the simple classic design on sports cars.

The prelude is a pretty hefty car. Thin spoked rims never seem to look right, as if they can't "hold" up the weight of the car. Same with late model Accords, they need wide-spoked wheels.

Listen to the Lude-guru.

I'm not diggin those at all.

16's or 15's=lower rotational mass, and cheaper/more options for tires. .. Youll thank me later.

The Lude is very clean btw.

Thank for all replies. Do you know anything about the BSA quality? How does it compare to other manufacturers?

They're ugly, but they look better than the other wheel that's on the front of your car.
