Yes, yes, needs drop. RCE springs are in my future (a month or two). Kept stock size as I don't feel it needs wider on stock power, just a little grippier. Tires are 215/45R17 Conti ExtremeContact DW.

I'm not hating at all, but that's a good bit of money for no gain. It looks good, but at least 8". Why not just stay stock?

They're lighter than stock for starters, and I like the look much better. The stock wheels leave me completely cold.

They look great this size. How much did the wheel weigh?

They're right about 17lbs in this size, compared to 20+ stock.

I like it. Its not my thing as I prefer more concave designs, but they look great on the car and I also see no need for a drop, looks good as it is

I love them; was there any way to get the offsets different on 17s in order to maintain the "dipped" look like on the 18s and 19s. I like the look of those, except I prefer to keep the wheel size 17.

At the time, no. They do offer a 17x9 in 5x100 now though; those should have a more concave face. I have yet to see the 17x9s in person.

Got some blue center caps. I think they look better with them, even if they do say Rays on them.
