Hi from Dubai!

Finally got these installed, last four that were available in the factory in Japan (I'm told!)

17x7.5 Bright Chrome, weight is a super light 6.7kg (14.7lbs). Tyres are Dunlop Direzza DZ101s 215/45 R17. No, we don't get Star Specs over here and it'll cost a pretty penny to ship 'em over

Thoughts: Steering feel is vastly improved, braking better, overall grip levels are through the roof compared to my old wheels, the JDM OEM 16x6.5s which interesingly enough, are manufactured by Enkei.

I know it's still got the 4x4 ride height - debating whether to order a set of Eibach springs. Probably not, like being able to go over bumps quickly!

I like. Looking for rims myself but not sure what I want yet.

Awesome, looks great! Keep them clean and don't scratch them!

So sick

Just thought I'd add something else - these are the original 16" wheels that came with the car.

They're 16x6.5" and if you flip them over...turns out they're actually made by Enkei. No idea what the weight is, but they feel super light.

Comes with Yokohama Decibel E70 tyres in 205/55 R16, ie the shittiest rubber imaginable.

Love the chrome Advans. Very nice!

Nice Advans. I really like your stock rims, has some Watanabe character to them.

Well, if you don't mind paying for shipping from the UAE all the way to the US...

I_giado those factory 16s weigh about 7.2kg each so are indeed light.

The tyres are horrendous and that's why I went new wheels and tyres straight away

looks great, I don't think you need to lower it...if you have to, 1 inch is good enough.
