Try some SSR Competitions. i think... 17x7.5 12.7 lbs. (or so i have read).

The CP-035 17x7.5 comes in at 13.1 lbs

*shrug* go figure. the SSR are actually cheaper than the CP035.. but i'm not quite sure how accurate my source is.

Your source for the SSR's is right, great wheels!

By the way Misa, Jon Felton (jonse-r) will beat most people for wheel prices.. Morgan got a hella deal on the K1s and I'm gonna order a set of them or SSR comps soon..

I still don't get why you want to do that conversion..? If you just use 4th gen VTEC parts on the front, you won't have to change the back.. And you can use your old wheels..

It would be ok he is kept is useless comments to the Kills or AAG forums, but when they make it to the car forums, its rediculious.. He's a waste of server resources..
