New hoops
Well, new to me, anyways...lol Just picked these up this weekend - Motegi Traklite1s in 16x7 +40 with Kumho Ecsta XS in 225/50. TBH, five spoke wheels aren't my favorite style, but the price for the whole package was too good to pass up, and they still look pretty sharp against the car, and 12.5 pounds is pretty damn light. It was all used, technically, but essentially like-new condition, including the tires. They're a couple of seasons old, so they won't be in top condition, but they'll still be a huge improvement autocrossing over the OEM setup. Car is otherwise stock right for now. Can't wait to get them on, but I'll be on snows for a couple more weeks at least...we just got another couple of inches yesterday, and it's still well below freezing at night.
My apologies for the crappy cell phone pics...I'll try to take some better ones when I get them on the car. Last edited by venturaII; 03-29-2015 at 03:48 PM. |

nice choice! Be sure to get some installed shots when they're on car!
Plus 16" are cheaper for tires than 17/18! |

Naturally, since swapping my winter steels for my new summer setup this past weekend, it's either poured rain or snowed every day here...
