@evilconcarne999 was there a reason why you got rid of them? Im considering these sized wheels and i just wanted to know if you didnt like them because it changed the car considerably from the stock setup.

i sold them because in my opinion they were too heavy and big for the car in a performance perspective. when i was originally changing out my stock wheels for them i felt the weight between the 2 and i honestly couldnt tell the difference, except one was a lot bigger than the other. with all the lightweight modifications i did in trying to reduce rotating mass and lighten the car up, i felt the biggest problem with what was killing the performance of my car was the wheels, so i went with smaller diameter and lighter weight wheels, and i have really noticed a difference in doing so. dont get me wrong if looks is what you care about and dont mind sacrificing some power then go with the wheels, i wish they were lighter and smaller diameter because i would of kept them but that was not the case so i ended up parting with them. but that was my experience with them, other people might tell you different with 18+ inch wheels but for me smaller is better and i went with pretty much a stock diameter set up when it came to replacing the wheels, just a hell of a lot lighter than the stock rims.
