Hello!
I just got new wheels on my car last night. These were an impulse buy online last Friday. Anyway, they are made by Effect wheels and called the Sengen.

Specs:
17 x 7.5
+40 offset
18.4lbs each
Stock tires

NEXT: Lowering springs!

They look pretty nice... couldn't find the manufacturer's website, though... that is a little worrisome! Can't wait to see it lowered!

Whoa, looks like you are in the NW, right? Sherwood Forest as in the one near Wilsonville Oregon?

If so, go post up in the NW owners topic:

Thanks DarrenDriven,
Yeah the wheels were inexpensive. (Cheap!) lol. I am saving for 18x8 Volk CE28N's. I just can't blow my whole budget on wheels first. I like the concave look of these 17's wheels, the offset, the weight (5.5% lighter), and the price. I still have money left to buy springs and upgrade the stock stereo/speakers. :thumbup:

I am from the NW. :D

Eibach Pro kit. + New tires. Pilot Sport A/S 225/45/17 all around. Tires side wall is way stiffer. The tires weight more than I wanted, but were a good deal.

I really like that the tires look "meaty" now. I got 16,800 miles out of the stock tires. The rears were gone, the fronts still had a small amount of tread. Sorry that the pics are not the best...

Got new Tires! 245/40/17 Michelin Pilot super sports! I love em! I thought that they would look "pinched" on the 7.5, but after test fitting them, I think they look great. The 245/40 is one pound lighter than the 225/45's I was running.
